Covert names: let's hear 'em
 

I name coverts that have consistently produced birds over the previous several years. Each name has a meaning. I have more, but these are my better ones. Let's hear yours.

Faceplant- name explains is

Betrayal- took a friend here who ended up being much less than a friend

Holy Corner- consistent producer

Baby's Graveyard- hidden within is an 1800's graveyard with headstones, all babies

Shithead- got here after an hour and a half drive and realized I forgot my shotgun

Granola Head- near Ithaca NY

Libtard Heaven- closer to Ithaca, NY, where I see men in spandex trail jogging

Porcupine- Yup, more than once until he became dead

Pisser- nature calls and a pair of grouse erupt giving me what would have been my easiest chance in life at a double

We have deer stands down here, but it is the same idea

The Graveyard Covey. In the middle of a copse of trees where a 1700's homesite was located with children and adults, the oldest being in their 30's.

The Garden Covey. An abandoned farm's garden patch, overgrown but still producing asparagus.

Vietnam. A thicket of cat briars and blown down trees that always produced nice bucks during the season.

All three located on a farm on Maryland's Eastern shore outside of Cambridge, MD.

Love it. I am kinda glad I can't name one Gator anything as we don't have gators!! And thank God I don't have a Grizzly covert of any kind. I could, however, name a skunk and bobcat covert if pressed to.

Man, those are some awesome names! Reign of Terror Corner? : ) Gene's Love Shack? That's great.

To answer the question mark after Reign of terror corner. Woodcock hunting with 2 sons and granddaughter. A woodcock jumped by one and missed twice flew by the other two and each missed twice. It is in the corner of an overgrown to alders hay field, i marked it near an opening and shot it when it flushed. Son asked if i got it and i answered '' his reign of terror is over''since then it is known by that name. Blizzard meadow got it's name when younger son shot a woodcock flying low over milkweeds in a strong wind and it looked like a snowstorm with the seed heads flying.
