And I bought a small bore....

[Bruce Day]

Corrrct. 28ga Perazzi. But he was hit in the side of the neck and upper shoulder from about only 25 yards away when a quail flew between two hunters and Cheney was not in his usual position.

Two military doctors were following close behind in an ATV with an emergency medical kit and a helicopter was on alert back at the ranch.

Information is from one of the guides.

When we go quail hunting with several people we always stress that quail will often fly low beteen hunters or dogs and to just hold fire until the bird is well clear. I’ve never had anybody shot despite numerous opportunities for accidents.
