The moment of truth--covey flush. And these are wild quail. French Brittany courtesy of AmarilloMike. One bird bagged.

Couple weeks ago in Texas Panhandle. This day I was shooting a 16 gauge English single shot with 7/8 oz and black powder. Hefty gun at 4 1/2 pounds.

Gil, I just load black in Cheddite plastic hulls. I don't reuse them. And I really don't use them often, just when the mood strikes me. Fiber wads and six point crimp--I'm lazy.

Also kudos to the photographer (Mike?) for getting the flush so soon. Quick on the shutter.

Just a few minutes later AmarilloMike's world famous Brittany, Ginger, locked down on another covey and using his 16 gauge single shot hammer gun with black powder nailed this Bob. Great hunt with our vintage guns mixed equally with fellowship in an incredibly beautiful country.

Great Post, that covey rise pic is Super, and HARD to get, I know......

But don't you feel guilty shooting birds on that Treeless Plain?
No mesquites to dodge, and with Broke dogs like Mike runs most every flush is underfoot......You have got it too easy Mr. Wood.....

Enjoy the Season !!!

Two questions:
Is Mike's beard a requirement of the Federal Witness Protection Program and is his gun really an external hammergun as stated? Looks to be hammerless from my view of it. I can't imagine hunting birds in a location without briars, thorns, etc.
Beautiful photos and country. Gil
PS: It is an external hammergun according to a pm from Mike's shooting student.
