When and where was the last time you actually shot a limit of "bobwhite" quail. And be honest........

And I assume your talking about wild birds only. It would be early to mid 1990s for me.

Hey Billy, welcome to the forum. My last limit was on a day hunt in south Texas, the time I invited you and Ron to come down and hunt. I seldom shoot anymore.

My friend Chris shot his limit on this hunt;

Must of been about 1994 the last time I shot a limit. Since then it has been mainly working dogs and not worrying about shooting. If I want quail to eat I can get all I want from pen raised birds.

2005 and it took 2 of us to shoot it on a 22 covey day. My shooting is alot like the gal that sang the national anthem, well intentioned but wrong.

Two weeks ago south of Kingsville. Looking back through pictures

His first second and third is but he is pretty good on the forth and fifth. By the time he get the third off most of the birds have cleared the dogs. I even saw him get the gun to his shoulder one time before the third shot went off.

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.

I'd tell you to check with tigger but I hate being embarrassed on the board, but yes it is. There was a day when I used to shoot pretty well but those days are few and far between now. I should get an award from the state for conservation. up

Hell, I didn't read far enough down the thread. I see I was too late, tigger tells the truth.

Chet must be shooting one of those Bennelis. I hear they are pretty fast!

I remember reading an article in the Dallas Morning News written by Ray Sasser back in the late 80's about a group of Georgia hunters that came to Texas to hunt with him.
After a few covey rises and many missed shots, one of the men said to Ray, "Sur yo burds are not gentlemen."
