Greetings Everyone; I turned 65 last month. I hunted quail until age 50 with older friends that passed on one by one.We enjoyed many many days afield. We always had a fair number of birds, one or two to five or six coveys a day. We could kill enough to keep it interesting for us and the dogs. About two years ago a acquired a Brittany pup and thought I would try it again alone although some folks were telling me that birds were scarce. I'm in the second season now with Scooter and I'm finding nothing but a woodcock or two now and then and only one today that I missed. I have a place to hunt that looks as good as it gets in these parts but no quail. found one covey last year but flew across the Eustanaulle river (if spelled correctly). I am seeing coyote poop every where. Do you think this is whats happening to our quail? This 200 acres plus about 100 more that joins it that I am hunting should have eight or ten coveys. I am trying to attach some pics. Looks like I may be dreaming. I just don't get turned on by releasing birds. That seems like hideing your own Easter Eggs and I'm not ready for that yet. Anyone else finding this in the South East? Please don't tell me my dog ain't no good.
I once told an old friend that I didn't know which I enjoyed the most braging on mine or throwing off on his. Happy New Year. Gerald
P.S. I made about 40 pics today. The first is where I began and the last is where I stopped. No Birds:
