If I may interject....
seems to me this whole thing got started over a discussion of the term "pot hunter". Now when I heard the term, it was assumed (possibly incorrectly at the time) by my elder hunters to be someone who took unethical shots "pot-shots" at game. If the terminology actually means someone who is hunting for the pot (dinner), then I've been a bit mis-informed. And I probably fall into that category (they were called "meat hunters" where I grew up). As far as taking birds on the ground? I've done it (on at least one occaision - haven't hunted birds in a while besides turkeys and my memory suffers a bit when it comes to small game). Is it terribly sporting? probably not. But darned if it didn't taste great. JMHO
