[C.O.B.]

Mills I hope you don't mind but I'll chime in here vs starting another thread.

This trip originated over dinner last year while shooting at Drakes Landing. I wanted to do a southern Quail hunt with PGCA members and both Mills and Julia recommended Morrison Pines.

Morrison Pines encompasses approximately 5000 acres of Long Leaf Pine and wiregrass as Mills photos show. This land has been in the same family for six generations. When I first drove up the road I thought to myself look at all this open space, this will be a piece of cake. I couldn't have been more wrong. The explosion of the covey will unnerve you as you go from bird to bird. No one shot a double on the rise all weekend.

To try to describe each hunt would be impossible but leave it to say that all were excellent. I would say that we saw 200 birds per day and I know I shot over two boxes of shells each day. The dog work was supreme with a mix of English Pointers, German Shorthairs, English Setters and the odd Boyken Spaniel (Bogard was a true bird finding dog) and a couple of Labs joined in the mix. We had four different guides and to a man they were capable and friendly. Their only goal was to put us on birds and boy did they ever accomplish that goal.

I took 5 guns for the three day hunt. They were made up of Gunner's Gun (naturally), VHE 28 skeet, AAHE upgrade 28, Holland & Holland 20 and a Fox FE .410.

The only thing I would do different would be to stay longer and we have fixed that situation for next year as we have made it a 4 day hunt.
