That is what I think, that they are coming back in some areas. How many days did you hunt your lease? I have heard some good reports from that general vicinity.

I've been here for a month. Our Ranch is 2300 acres. Have not hunted or run dogs much because of how bad the quail have been.
My young GSP pointed one covey today and one early in the week. Bob Jurewicz |

Do you need to put boots on the dogs feet? It's great when you can witness that moment in time when the light comes on for a dog.

The outfitter and guide don't boot their dogs for that area. But they have so many dogs that they rotate and rest their dogs the day after the hunt.
I had my Lewis rubber dog boots with me. When I hunt in the Panhandle I almost always put them on because of the sand burrs. But I followed the guide's practice and ran them bootless in that country. The boots would have helped with the rocks. Not so much with the cactus as it easily goes through them. |

There is a tire sealant called Green Slime. The guide had it in the buggy tires and he ran over cactus now and then.
I have Polaris 4 wheeler. Put Green Slime in the tires and have run over many many cactus (inadvertently) and no flats so far. I have used innertube boots, Lewis boots, ballistic nylon boots, duct tape boots, and leather boots. The Lewis boots are the ones I hate the least. |
