Well, let me ask - do you hunt with a ‘bird gun” or a common pump or semi? If you carry an Elsie or a Fox or a B27 in 28 ga rather than a common 870/1300, then you may be a bit elitist to most folks you run into....
But, hey, those yahoos won’t care what you carry, but rather that you enjoy your hunt...
Hunting Ruffed Grouse, you likely follow a dog of either flushing or pointing variety- why would your dog be any better/fairer than their dog? Do you wear Filson tin cloth?

.410 pump, no dog. I am not saying I am against bear hunting, I just don’t like the method of the hunt...it is not hunting. It is similar to the Native’s up here who spear walleye during spawning....It’s lazy and not fair.
