The chinese and koreans claim adrenaline improves the taste of the meat. That's why they scald and skin their cats, dogs, and chickens alive.

oneounceload- give it up! there is nothing wrong with shooting birds on the ground. if you can kill your prey quick and legal.. that's all that matters.....sorry it is what it is.. and what it is, is hunting
As long as it's legal, it's not my problem.
But shooting a sitting or running bird, to me, is situational; it seems trivial, and is not something to get all lathered up about.
you try to shoot an animal that is NOT running full out scared for its life
I don't think I'd hunt with somebody again if they shot a grounded bird except a few limited instances.
I don't shoot runners, because, as I mentioned previously, our hunting groups always observed the "blue sky rule - why? because someone's DOG was in the middle of it
it just wasn't the right thing to do - period.
Furthermore, different environments call for different methods. If your "upland" birds are in the middle of vast, dense boreal jungles then there's not really much point in trying to wing shoot. You can't even see the sky, or sometimes more than a foot in front of you. Trying to get at grouse in there is not easy. Trying to get them out of the trees or in a spot where they can be shot is not easy. To apply the same standards you use in some rolling treeless scrub land to those conditions is absurd. Particularly where said rolling country is little more than a game park kept artificially stocked with plenty of birds to scare into flight for wealthy clients.
