Good to see some Youth coming into this organization which is plum full of "Geezers" myself included. A good friend of mine has just cracked 40 and he is one of the younger ones in here. Good luck in school and stay away from the Marines.

When I was in the Navy and stationed at North Island, January 1971 through December 1973, the Marines provided us with a wonderful hunting preserve called Camp Pendleton. Getting off at 3 pm (1500) if traffic was good, I could check in with the Game Management Unit and have a good hour and a half to two hours at the pond near the old hacienda. Lots of Doves. Also, great quail hunting for the young and fit and in those days Band-tailed Pigeons in the higher hills when they came through.

I was only stationed in Pendleton for a month but I’m planning on making a career out of it. I just reenlisted so I’m sure I’ll find myself there again and god willing I’ll come along a good English setter to get after quail out there.

The only thing you might want a dog for is retrieving. They are not polite like Bobwhite. Those running little top-knotted rockets need a military maneuver getting several of the party on the ridgetop above them and then a couple coming up from below to get them in a pincer and get them to fly.
