Hunting in July?

[Gary Laudermilch]

I don't hunt much in July unless you count orange discs. However, this morning I ran the setters in a little patch of cover near the house. Ahhh, a nice woodcock point and back from the boys. I quit running the dogs when I figure the birds are starting to nest and do not begin again until the young should be large enough to fly well. Well, it is that time again! There is not much I enjoy more than shooting but watching the boys work birds is one of them. For me, the countdown to fall officially begins now!

Not hunting but preparing for this dove season.Fields are staggered in planting and coming in good.Looks to be a good field with plenty of quail with young on all of them.Deer also hitting the fields hard.

Saw lots of quail on fields along with two coveys of young about a dozen each.Birds calling all over the fields all day.
