Quail Hunting in Texas

[Dean Romig]

Some time ago Steve Rivers asked me to post these pictures on the forum.
Apologies to Steve that I didn't do it sooner.

Their specialized "Quail Car" is a done over 1941 Cadillac that pulls a dog trailer.
This is near Millett, Texas and the dogs are English Pointers and they cover a lot of ground. Two of the group shoot Parkers - Steve shoots a 16 ga. VH and another hunter shot a 28 gauge DHE Reproduction.

well - the first thing to cut on the Healey is the muffler - 'cause you are going to lose it anyway :rotf:

Maybe some shackles on the leaf springs would help out !Now where are those leaf springs ???? :rotf:

Well you've got Ruffed Grouse and if you just plunk that Austin Healey body down on an old Jeep CJ chassis you'll be able to get right in there among them!!

I hadn't thought of that Dean ,it could double as a Deer Getter too ! By the way ,I just happen to have an old Cherokee sitting around here I use for firewood....:rotf:

never finished that clean up i started..so i got to looking in the junk field and found a old 39 mercury with only 39000 on it somebody barrowed the motor and trans.we got no quail in huntable numbers so i guess the project is on hold till we get the quail back....charlie
