Yesterday we opened the SC season with a whimper and very few bangs. Birds were harder to find than in Georgia. Georgia must be offering a better tax incentive than SC for the woodcock to winter here. Couple of shots that only accomplished letting the birds know whose side we were on.
I had a couple of hours to hunt this afternoon. It was a gorgeous afternoon. Floyd had kids and sister in town so it was just the Muttpak and I. Found a half-dozen birds, but only this one held for the dogs. It was a new area for me. Highlight was a covey of quail that busted in front of unsuspecting Willa. Scent conditions were bone dry. This is about as close to a tailgate photo you gonna get from me. Gil
