				A Puppy's First Bird
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			Our quail season thus far has been very poor.  Today we tried a Thanksgiving hunt on a farm close to home.  No birds throughout the morning until we had given up and were heading to the truck.  Our puppy, Rill, made a point, and I was finally able to shoot a wild Bob for her -- her first.  We've hunted on Thanksgiving Day for 40+ years.  It's hard to measure a "best" day, but a puppy's first quail is near the top.
