Gambel's are fun! My first experience with them was a blast. We had no dogs but just checked the dry "washes" for birds all day. We found two or three coveys and got some shooting. I killed the first bird I shot at with a little 20 ga. SKB 200E, when we stumbled into a covey on a hillside and one crossed hard to my right. That little sucker was smokin' it. Afterburner was definitely on. I asked my friend if they always fly like that. He just smiled. I found later that they did, indeed.
