bein from miss, you ever shoot at quail, without the help of a pointin dog?

I grew in central Florida in the fifties, when we still had coveys of quail liven in the orange groves...

used to flush erm at dawn and at dusk, out from under the trees...

didn't have no bird dog back then, so hunted alone or with one other hunter...

learned to always be alert an quick...

carried an shot a Stevens 94, 16 ga with cut barrels and stock... no choke...no pad...

little thang wuz like ah magic wand...

wish I still had it now...
That’s some really impressive stuff right there, ed. Here’s a news flash: a Stevens 94 is a single shot, it doesn’t have “barrels”, cut or otherwise. But yeah, those nuggets you just posted give us some wonderful insight into your vast knowledge of shotgun dynamics and wing shooting. You be careful now.
