Quail can count to two ; )

I have never hunted desert quail but I always wanted to. I think thte Mearns is one of the most beautiful game birds. I've wanted to take one since I was a kid.
Very early in the season before the broods break up, one can have the same situation on grouse. I've run into a situation many times where one flushes followed by the others and there you are with an empty gun. One reason I always liked ejectors. Plus I love hearing the thunk. Hearing the thunk and smelling freshly fired paper cases are wonderful simple pleasures.
