Sorry, but the island hunt, better off to just go buy a chicken and stalk it in your back yard. {safer too}. Used to go over there for a few weeks, just before the hunt for work. We had to be off the island before the hunt for safety reasons, and expense. Hunt starts, motel, cottages, B&B's, all triple in price, beer at the hotel doubles, but they do bring in some un-licensed ballet, used to?? It's a big drunk for wealthy folk, with fancy shot guns and show dog's? Hell, garbage collection starts early during the hunts to hide all the harvested, then wasted birds.
Not to knock the Island, they've not only worked it for yrs, but it pays alot of their bills.
But hunting it's not, birds are released just before open, working there before the hunt you have to slow right down not to run them over, you can catch them by hand in the ditch grass. Sorry to sound so neg. but it is what it is.
