Quail and Chevy Hunting

[Bruce Day]

Great quail country but battled wind at 25 gusts to 45 and 41 degrees. Dogs couldn't get a scent line and when the birds did fly, they were at 50mph within a second or two. So no birds today, but that's hunting. But hey , its wild birds, my dogs, my choice in how to hunt and I kinda like that.

I'm going to ask the experts why I missed shots yesterday. Must have been something wrong with the gun.

Earlier in the season it was 6 coveys a day and 50 bird coveys. Now its the end of the season and the middle of winter. Not many even hunt this late.

About 4 we quit battling the wind and found a country bar, a beer and Merle Haggard and George Jones.

And if you don't like the Camaro , here are a few more oldies but goodies. Twenty years before those two trucks were made, folks piled all their belongings and their family in even more rickety trucks and headed west from here in the dustbowl to what they hoped was a better life in California.
