Nothing better than walking up on good dogs!

Are there no requirements for hunter orange in Texas?

I love seeing these pictures now that I'm still mired in quail hunting withdrawal. I like what appears to be taking turns to shoot. Only Gentleman Bob promotes this kind of courtesy.

Oh, for next Fall!

Nope, no requirement. But all three shooters are wearing it. My shirt sleeves are orange and so are the front of the shoulders. The other two shooters wearing orange hats. If I am in a squad of shooters that includes a youngster or otherwise less experienced hunter, I have a nylon orange "cap" I can put over the crown of my cowboy hat. This particular squad of three shooters, including myself, have been shooting together for almost 40 years, and none of us would ever follow a flushing bird out of our shooting "cone".

There are three shooters walking up for the flush. I am in the middle, you can see the pointer on the left side of the shooter walking in on the right, and the second dog honoring on the right side of the same guy. I am about at my stopping place, but the two outside shooters are moving fast to the right and left, and will each end up making a slight semicircle around the covey. Also with us are the dog handler (cowboy hat with collar remotes strapped across his chest), The guy in the cowboy hat and the jacket with the orange on it behind me as I am shooting is the fourth member of the walk - up squad, but we only take three guns up to a point, no exceptions, so one guy always sits out. A second dog guy, (the guy in the red jacket) stays with the truck to let the Labs and Cockers out to pick up the dead birds. The shooter to my right is an unnamed dignitary, and that is why we had a professional photographer with us that day. These are pretty high res pics, and they will enlarge well.

Really good quail country, we moved 17 coveys that morning, and 14 more that afternoon.

Quail hunting is my favorite type of upland gunning but grouse are a very close second. In Georgia there are only two guns allowed on the ground. Wild quail would be a real treat
