Nice Harold. Joe had it right when he said his dog grinned. I've hunted every bird available here in the east and a few out west but nothing makes me grin like a good quail hunt and watching your dog get that whiff of a covey. Just to make it real sporting try to just pick out cock birds on the rise.

Good job, Fancy and Doodle! (Oh, and you too, Harold
 )It looks like WV's program is working and you're getting some quality time with your pups and some of those nice guns of yours. Daryl may be able to pick and shoot cock birds only, but I'm old and feeble and feel lucky to not have a heart attack when a covey gets up so close I can feel the breeze from their wings. What a great day to chase birds with good dogs...and take a few using a gun you love. Keep us posted, Harold.

Seems like my take is always 1 cock bird and 2 hens, don't know if I could distinguish the two on a covey rise in this thick cover. May try tomorrow, taking my son, but weather does not look promising. Baled out today in heavy sleet at 35 degrees, turned around after getting half way there.

Wow what a neat little hammer gun! I love the wood extension vs a pad

Easy to tell the difference in hand, but on a covey flush with birds going 360 degrees, I think my eyes cross!

Try picking a cock from a hen on a woods covey.
