Default Nice morning out

Took the dogs out for a weekly tune up on some Bobwhites. What a great morning to be out with Scout, Missy, and Bell.

Wow Phil those are real classy pointers. So you can shoot quail in July? Nothing better than shooting quail over pointers. That's how I grew up.

Thanks guys for the positive comments. They have not been out a lot since February and it sure tickles me when they come out after a little time off and work the birds better than I shoot. Joe my dog Missy in the 3rd picture is 5 years old and still acts like a puppy in the back yard. She points honey bees and lizards, and holds on point until they " Flush" LOL.
My wife is always giving me grief say what's wrong with your dog?, but put her in the field and she is all business.
Charlie I had to laughs at what you wrote, because I was shooting my 410 sxs today and the bird crawled under the tree. On the flush I shot but only feathered the bird and he ended up flying into a tree about 70 yards away.
I whistled Scout off the bird, and turned him to go 180 degrees away. After shooting another bird for Scout and getting a retrieving he went over the rise. I soon found him solid and on point looking up into he tree where the bird had sat for the last 20 minutes.
Charlie I live in Tucson, and hunt mostly Southern AZ. Right up to the Mexican border. True be known my dogs have been known to become temporarily " undocumented immigrants " for the time it takes them to jump the border fence to retrieve a bird.

Mike I am very fortunate we have plenty of state land close to home to work the dogs on and my hunting partner raises Bobwhites. It's like having your own private quail farm without the expense. At only $5.00 per bird a guy can have loads of fun with his dogs and still be home for a late breakfast. I think Chris Dawe phrased it best. " If it wasn't for my dogs, not sure I would own a shotgun"

I did not know Tucson was that pretty. I assumed it was all scorched earth like Vegas.

This is about 45 minutes south of Tucson. Tucson is not near as green as this.

Phil, I once drove the road from Tucson to Nogales. I often wondered what was at the end of some of the farm roads I passed in the desert. I couldn't see any buildings up those roads. I remember a crossroad where there was a restaurant where we ate lunch. It was in the middle of nowhere. I have always wanted to spend more time in that area. I had a wonderful time at Tucson Trap and Skeet.

Phil,
Thanks for posting those great shots of your dogs and lovly grasslands.
What elevation were you hunting and what was the temperature? How is the snake population in that area?

I have been wanting to take my dogs out but have been fearful of the local snake population. I will need to wait until the night time temperatures drop a bit before I take my hunting buddies out for a little fun.
