Your Favorite Gamebird
 
As the winter dolldrums decend upon us and we are left only with the recollections of the past season and the ocasional story by Hill, Ford, Babcock etc I pose the question of What is your favorite game bird? Mine is Mr. Bobwhite, I like the heart stopping covey explosion, the staunch dog and a slim and quick small bore Parker. I have had the priveldge of hunting truly wild Quail as a kid when there was a season here in Michigan. I have hunted them in the heart of Dixie from a Mule drawn wagon also. Only preseve birds here now but with a 28 or 410 they are still sporty advasaries.

Pheasant is number one, with jump shooting mallards on ditches a close second.

I have to side with Dean on this one ! How can you beat a day out walking the soft loamy earth of the low lands and crabapple thickets where this little fella resides ! When the flights are in thirty , forty maybe more points on a good morning and always fast shooting at a wild game bird with a small bore Parker ,Wonderful !!

Ruffed Grouse. A double, flying left and right, enough to last me rest of my life. Common among blacks and whistlers, in second and third place.

Above all else I think of myself a ruffed grouse hunter. Someday I would love to stumble into a Parker really suitable for the task, one I can afford. Here in Utah we have another month to chase chukars but that is a sport for young billy goats. The dog wants to go for a run so I may give them a go before the season ends.

Favorite Game Bird
 
Whatever is in season!!!!Down in the Southeast...Dove in September, then Quail, Grouse, Woodcock, and Pheasants in October. But don't forget, Ducks in November and Turkeys in the Spring. A bird dog and the will to get out and after all of these gamebirds keeps me going. They are all my favorites and as I have gotten older, they are all great sport and create memories that I only wish could be passed on to the grandsons. No, we don't have Pheasants in the Southeast, but South Dakota has plenty...
