Nope. Graford. Don't think it's far enough west.
No matter how high a duck flies a hammer still breaks a window.

Saw 5 coveys Monday and heard 2 more that I didn’t flush. Mostly bigger birds but one had half grown birds you could really tell a difference on. The smallest covey I counted on the ground had 11 and the largest had 16. Last year only heard 1 quail while in the farm for 4 days. All in Jim Wells county. Amazing what happens over a year.

I saw an 18 bird covey fly in to where I was sitting Saturday in Fisher county. Which way from the tsnk Sitting on Mr Days tank, the bird flew in from that deep draw south of the house. Giant came out and had a cup of coffee with us Sunday morning. He’s always a fun man to talk dogs with! They don’t make ‘em like him anymore. I should have killed a limit of dove but I had three boys swimming and hollering in the tank next to me. It was a great time. I killed 8. Zack took a bunch of high school boys to hunt at Giants and they killed one dove bird.
