You have to kiss a few toads - 02/18/16 09:53 PM
A neighbor told me he had 600 acres leased for grazing cattle, and that he had seen 5 or 6 coveys while driving around the roads. He wanted to hunt it with a bird dog. It was behind a new subdivision between Katy and Fulshear. You guessed it right. It was off the old Fulshear Katy road. I met him and his friend in downtown Fulshear. Cracker pointed the first covey on a fence line with a very tight 4 strand barbed wire fence. I didn't see anyway we could flush the covey which was just across the fence. I put Muffin down and she got them up. We saw maybe 20 birds go low and fast down the other side of the fence.
It went down from there. The weeds and nut sage were to thick for any dog. We rode the roads for a couple of hours and came home.
I'm off to Beeville next Tuesday with an old friend to hunt his lease an afternoon and a morning. He doesn't have a clue about the bird numbers.
I read all your great threads about great hunts this year. Ever kiss any toads?
