Kenny ,Thanks for the advice , My dad tells of the Deep Freeze here in the early Forties which did our Quail in ! Seems my Grand Dad had a small Farm here in SW Pa. where a few nice Coveys lived ,as my Grand Dad called them I am told " My Coveys " which he watched very closely I've been told ! The story is a Deep snow came and then melted a little and then the Deep Freeze that lasted for a long period of time ,the next Spring ,there were no Quail to be found ,so you can imagine my suprise about eight years ago or so when Maggie Set Point at the end of a ravine that dropped out of a Crab Apple patch at the edge of the lower Field ,I went in to Flush expecting Mr. Ruff and jumped a Covey of about Forty Quail ,Well the Good Lord was smiling on me that day ,the first Covey rise I had ever seen and managed to scratch down Two for an honest Double ," Two Dead in the Air " with my 16 Ga. Trojan and some good Spreader Loads ! Hence my Doubles Pin from the PGCA ! Russ
