Garry, I am really enjoying the quail hunting inWV this year. The birds were released in late summer and seem to have acclimated well. They flush and fly hard. The cover is really rough to get through. Hunted different area today and got into 2 covies.
I heard Willie's bell stop and as Doodle came by she slammed a point. A single got up which I dropped and then 2 more on report and dropped one with the left barrel
As I started to reload, the rest of the covey flushed, I got 1 shell in the gun, slammed it shut, swung on the wide open bird, but forgot to hit the safety again on the little VHE 20.R
ATS! Moved a few singles with on 1 shot presented, but missed. Willie found another covey for me on the next hill and made good on that shot to finish out my limit of 3.
This is on a public hunting area look at the pure stands of autumn olive.
