My last hunt was yesterday. Local landowner gave me access to some nice pastures. Had a great time and the dogs did great considering the conditions, there wasnt even any dew on the ground at sunrise with the 30mph winds. Hunted three hours and found 3 coveys, harvested 6birds.

Magspa, now those are a couple of really cool pics right there. I know that it involves more than just the camera, but out of curiosity, what camera brand, model, etc, are you using?

Hunted near Shamrock the last weekend of season. Had a solid first day with great dog work, and then only found a couple of coveys yesterday in the sleet and 30mph wind...came to senses about 11:30 and got on the road. All nice sized coveys, encouraged for next year, hopefully birds continue to rebound so I can talk momma danceswithquail into letting me get a new pup (b#%tching about no birds for three years dug myself into a hole on that). Few pics attached. Last pic is probably the closest I have ever been on wild birds to a dog straight into face and actually had a camera, slam and turn less than 10 yds looking right at me, 15 bird covey in between us took one step and they exploded all around me.

Hey Dances, just put your foot down and tell her by God I'm getting a bird dog puppy whether you like it or not!! Just be sure like I was that she was at the store or something. Then you can say, I told you I was getting a pup bolt
And yes I'm whip


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

Excellent pictures.
We did a hunt Sunday, my husband was driving the UTV, so I put him in charge of the camera.
Needless to say I only have pictures of some ducks resting on the pond, and my dog with daughters boyfriend posing with the quail after the hunt.
I think he wants to be fired from being camera man.
The dog found 5 coveys, and we took 9 birds.



Shopping with your husband is like hunting with the game warden.
Experience is what you get, when you didn't get what you wanted.

Nice pen raised shoot, good people, good food, good whiskey, and nice dog work and shooting. Good exercise for dogs.

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

Yes it does.
We hunted wild quail on Sunday, but Friday I ran the dog on pen raised birds for customers.
Both days beat the snot out of staying home.

Sure does, but that's what I did last weekend. Will try to get dogs on a pen raised "hunt" in a couple weeks
