Mel,
I too am reminiscing this past season.
Farming most of the land that I hunt in my home state of Georgia, I saw enough young birds adding to hearing reports from plantations in my area of of different age groups to make me believe that we had 3 hatching in my area this year.
With two fine Beeline Brittney’s I trained all summer for a hunting season to remember!
Started the season in Montana and the dogs and the birds did not disappoint!
Lots of birds and nice work by the boys! Limit of Huns twice and Sharptails once. Many days of mixed bags and no off days. Drove home with high hopes for the remaining season. Excellent start.
Then a break in the hunting with harvest to take care of, my next hunt was Bobwhites in Texas.
Once again the birds nor the dogs disappointed!
Finished the remaining couple of months in my home state of Georgia. South west Georgia.
Big disappointment!
Where did the birds go?
Not sure but finished the remaining couple of months of the season running dogs with very few bird contacts. Saw a total of four coveys of birds. Shot twice and picked up zero quail for the season finally.
Disappointed? Yes! Mostly for the dogs.
Already planning for next year!
