EP 554. Last of a Dying Breed: The Lost Art of Punt Gunning (Part 2)

BOOM! Our discussion with a last-of-a-dyring-breed punt gunner continues! Banned 107 years ago in the United States pursuant to the Migratory Bird Treat Act of 1918, punt gunning has since persisted in the United Kingdom. It's practiced by a few hardy old salts like Ginger Blayney, who gives us proper introduction. Where'd punt guns originate, what are the components of a punt gunning, under what environmental conditions are they most successfully used, and what are the dangers? What's an ideal waterfowl bag when using punt guns, what are punt gunning's advantages and limitations, how does perception differ from reality? How might the men that still practice punt gunning be characterized, and why is punt gunning becoming a lost art? We get into all of this and much, much more in today's incredibly interesting last-of-a-dying-breed discussion that you do not want to miss!
