Shawn I hope we will hook up one day and hunt together. I'm headed to Carlsbad NM for my 2nd year scaled quail hunt. last year was great Mark Vollinger and I bagged 30 quail first day after 14.7 mile walk. Great relatively easy walking country lots of birds. This year supposed to be as good. Like your Ithaca too I'm taking my #4 16 ga. to a dealer next week to maybe trade. This yer I'm toting my new /old VHE 28 and a Francotte 20 ga 20E that's lighting quick. Maybe a Parker 16 for backup.

David I heard from someone last week down there that there are great quail numbers. I'm gonna get down there this year too but not sure just when.
