Believe me. Safety is always at the top of the list. And I fully agree on only a couple of guns per point but at the same time "tigger" nailed it.
We have quail hunted this place for many years along with others so it's not our first rodeo. Just looking for a new handler and dogs to come out and enjoy it with us. YEP! I'll be like riding into and out of a beautiful painting all day long.

Different stokes for different folks. Not me. If i paid all that money to hunt and could only run my dogs in specific time zones thru out the hunt cause there are too many hunters i would be pissed. One of the many reasons i prefer to hunt alone

Three will work but 4 is just entirely to risky especially if chasing single. I have hunted quail for 60 years and I have come close to shooting and being shot several times with 3 and 4 hunters working and it is just not worth it. I also think it is worse on pen raised birds as opposed to wild birds.

If it isn't white it is not a birddog.

Lying is lying. Don't bitch about one doing it and condone another. That's called hypocrisy.

Why not limit the hunting group to 2 people
Because he won the hunt and the state allowed for 3 friends. We offered to split into 2 groups but they wanted to hunt together. I hunt with a 90 year old and an 88 year old and another guy my age. When we hunt together 2 people shoot and the other 2 stay on mule and rotate each find. Works great. When I guided I always limited to 2 shooter and would give a discount for 3 hunters but they understood only 2 shooters at a time.

I have replied to a few PM's today. So if anyone is still interested please PM me. The birds seem to be holding up and it looks like the weekend of Jan 30-31st is the days we will be hunting. We kicked up 4 covey's in less than an hour fooling around with my 9 month old Boykin. She has know idea what she was doing but it was fun just watching her try. Again, I would recommend at least 5-6 dogs as we will cover a lot of ground. Finally I did not have my Boykin booted and she did fine with the grass burrs. This doesn't mean they want be heavier on other parts of the property though.
Thanks,

Thanks, TW I use athletic wrap in red- hardens when it's wet. Works better than boots. Doesn't rub them raw. I run cockers behind pointers

Interested in that Athletic wrap. Can you post a link toe a picture the type you are using. Just got back from panhandle trip hunting in sandhills that were thick with burrs and agree with you on boots rubbing their feet raw

I'm enjoying this thread and I think it's a great idea to look for dogs to work.
I'm planning to be in the Panhandle in February for the Presidents' Day long weekend and may start a similar thread/dog search.
Best of luck in the hunt!

It was a great hunt! Looking forward to doing it again next year. I'll run dogs for this group anytime. We had a blast!!! 
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

I think I saw that group on the post office wall 
There is time, and you must take it, to lay your hand on your dog's head as you walk past him lying on the floor or on his settle, time to talk with him, to remember with him, time to please him, time you can't buy back once he's gone" GBE
