Oklahoma Winds and Quail
10 Attachment(s)
40 mph winds and lots of quail. They turn with the wind and are gone . A great time as usual . Tom Wooden , Mike Franzen, Russ Lindsay and me.
Mike Franzen finishing a plate of calf fries . A pair of 24 “ guns , 12 and 20 ga. Dogs too tired to eat. |
Great pics Bruce and thanks for sharing your hunt!
|
Awesome. would like to know more about the short barreled guns.
|
TPS has a list of 24” guns. There are not many . Some like them , others do not . They do best when you need to swing fast and are in heavy brush.
|
That sounds like the daily condition. If they are factory they must balance correctly.
|
Both guns are are factory correct barrels. TPS indicates one 24” 12 gauge being manufactured. The one pictured is 30,000 serial numbers earlier and surfaced just a few years ago. It’s a VH, 1 frame, made in 1903 choked IC and LM. The other gun is a beautiful DH 20 gauge that belongs to Bruce. He can tell you more about it but it’s a straight quail killer in his hands.
PS … I’m not entirely sure what calf fries are but they taste really good. |
I’ve seen the good Mr. Franzen’s short barreled gun and it’s a beauty…and will kill quail.
|
Great hunt guys, thanks for sharing!!! Appreciate the pics. Well done.
Thanks, Bobby |

This is one of my favorite photos from some years ago . New Lewellin setter pup Fielder , almost 6 months old, first quail hunt , first day . Stop the truck to get the guns out, let the dogs out, the pup goes on point and holds . Can’t be , she doesn’t know what she is doing but Bert backs hard.
Step up and a big covey flushes. |
A fabulous memory-pic Bruce!
My Gracie did the very same thing at 5 months on a VT grouse... and she retrieved it! . |
