Made a quick drive this morning and finally took my camera. The quail have really been moving and calling the past month now. I got a few pics around the rain showers. Saw one rooster in the road then 3 more flew in from all directions and land in the soybeans and lab lab.  This rooster ran down the road then flew up in some blackbrush.    Every place I stopped there were quail calling within 100 yards of me. This pair was at the house when I got back.   If all the pairs raise a decent size covey this will be the best year on quail since I moved here 3 yrs ago.

Great pics man. I am looking forward to another good year of quail. We have a chance for this next season to be one to remember.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

Those are great pics. Nice to see some quail are still around. Wish we still had some.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.

Where is here? Uvalde?

Great pictures. As always. I especially like #2.
Would you mind telling what camera, lens and settings you used?

Where is here? Uvalde? Here is at my place in Western Goliad County. Great pics stx. What lens? Lens was Canon 100-400mm IS and most were hand held. I was surprised they turned out as well as they did. Great pictures. As always. I especially like #2.
Would you mind telling what camera, lens and settings you used? Those pics were all with a Canon 50D and Canon 100-400MM IS lens. Part where on manual setting when I had something to rest on and some with auto when I was just holding the camera. Low light from cloud cover I had the cameras set on 200 to 400 ISO depending on if I was free handing or on a rest. Thanks everyone.
