I had one secondhand report of over twenty coveys on a King ranch lease. We had that one good report on here from near Encino. I had one firsthand report of one and two coveys on the East.

Thanks Bill. Got a report of a few coveys in Jackson county. Mostly walking and hunting fencerows around cultivated plots.

I think that is now called the coastal plains area. I've hunted that area years ago. No. New reports.

Not hunting this year, so this isn't first hand, but:
Santa Gertrudis division of King Ranch....few birds
Laureles Division....not too bueno
Down South, the western pastures of the Norias division still reporting good hunting

Now, this is first hand:
Drove for a friend the other day over west of Benevides...Sweden ranch (intersection of 2295 & 16)
We hunted lightly, and still found good numbers of birds.

I live on a ranch in the Rachal area and run dogs on a few other places close by. Been averaging about 6-8 coveys a hunt. Been seeing a lot of 10+bird coveys but find a few pretty small ones as well. Not as good around here as it has been the last two years but still pretty decent hunting.

Hunted Zavala co yesterday and found coveys at every deer feeder.

In Dimmit County I'm finding 12-15 coveys/day, but in desperate need of moisture. Covey size is smaller than previous years.

This time of year it’s starts being foggy in the mornings and green weeds start sprouting.
