Good for you Harold! I love the photos, especially the one of your two pups. Wild quail run, too, but you’ll rarely see them, only knowing by watching your dogs. It’s good you have those opportunities and kudos to WV for releasing birds. If your cover is that good, I’m curious why they don’t trap and release wild birds as with grouse or turkeys. Too much focus on deer will ultimately ruin bird hunting in many areas, and if we don’t figure out CWD, it may be the death of hunting as we have known it. Sometimes I’m glad I’m not any younger (sometimes!).
In the meantime, keep your reports coming. They are enjoyed.
