John Pollmann: A season of hits and misses for South Dakota roosters

Like most upland hunters, I’ve missed my fair share of birds over the years, but my current shooting streak is something I don’t think I’ve ever experienced before.
On my last two hunts, both on public ground, I’ve missed five roosters, emptying my 20 gauge on each bird for a total of 15 missed shots. While embarrassed to admit this on the pages of Outdoor News, I am hopeful that by being public with this information, I can exorcise whatever demons are causing the disconnect between me and my Beretta.
