Francis, I seem to recall a pic of you on a snow covered front porch, with long hair. Am I remembering wrong?
SRH I think so, Stan. The snow- yes, lotsa that here in Central MI- front porches- those too- But I have been as bald on top as Julius Caesar since I was 40-33 years ago- and besides, long hair on a Jarhead?? Sorta like a Leupold scope on a slingshot-- Holiday best wishes anyway!!

Had a great hunt today. Found 6 coveys and killed 6 birds in 3 hrs this morning. Took a good friend and his young son (9 yrs old) who able to shoot his first bird. Me and the youngest quail addict I know. I used my AYA 28ga, Carter used his 410 pump, and his dad shot a Browning 28ga Superlight.  Carter's 1st kill.

Two Brittanies and a GSP? Fine looking group- both dawgs and lads- great start indeed. Not a quail hunter-few here in MI- but curious- One you have flushed a covey- say 8 birds, and perhaps taken one or two, do you then leave the scattered birds be, and work the dogs elsewhere? Also, with three hunters and three dogs (assuming all three "feather finders" are working, how do you work the rotation as to how many go in to honor the point and backing of same?

The two britts are mine and the GSP is my friends. We hunted all 3 together. No real tactics as far as that goes... Whatever happens happens! As far as the coveys go.... Conservative shooting is key. We usually shoot the covey rise and if the covey is large enough, we'll hunt a single or two. But I try not to over pressure them. Not interested in big bags.

Gil, that's my other dog Copper. Rusty is trying to teach him a thing or two about quail hunting. He's coming around.

Hi all, my son Will and I went out today, it was a nice day, warm, low winds and sunny. The day started out slow, in fact I missed two, the first one, I fumbled with my safety and the 2nd flat out missed. Was able to collect myself and got a limit. Will managed two plus a Hun, the Hun was a long shot, dogs worked well and the company was great! Adam, good going!! Nice pics as always. My birds, I was using my 12b H&H Royal:  Will and his, he used his 20ga Browning BSS:  Me and the girls (Raina & Duchess):  Best! Greg

Nice pics, Foxy! Here's today's pic. A nice HYB (hatching year bird) Ruffed grouse, a nice brown one.  I went 3 for 4, with 2, 1 shot kills. Oustanding gunning for me. I used a 16 gauge Crescent for 1, and the other two I shot with Blackpowder loads from an Ithaca Crass. Only about 2 inches of fluffy snow in the woods. Cold and clear hereabouts.
Out there doing it best I can.
