Mike, that covey every 30 minutes on FOOT is truly busy Bird Hunting...My romps are horseback or "shooting brake" (GMC hunting rig) , running All Age and "Shooting Dog" bloodline dogs so we naturally cover more ground , hence the higher contact ratio.
Like I said, I had nice shooting on pretty well handled birds, on ten of those contacts....Makes for a wonderful day , and gives me back some pleasure for all the time and dollars I pour into this place.....
I passed up going yesterday due to that big North Wind you sent crashing down on us, but I'm getting the GPS collars off the charger just now, checking feet and ears, and planning to go out and meet Mr. Bob as he comes off the roost this fine Texas morning...I scheduled a leisurely 8:30 start , I do hope he is on time....

Great reports from all over this area, and I hear good stuff from our mutual friend the gun peddler who hunts the Eastern Panhandle.....

Hope your season continues to get even better......A year like this, and the exposure you give your dogs, can make a polished performer out of a prodigy like your Jazzy....Nothing trains Bird Dogs, like shooting Birds, and lots of 'em.

Best Regards:
