Count me as another true believer. Great thread, and great pics. That cover you called "wooly" is light stuff here. We do get into a covey of wild birds out in the open occasionally, but when we do we know we'd better get our shooting in on the rise, because they are going straight to the nearest, heaviest, thickest cover imaginable. Smilax and devil vines, bay bushes, brier patches and wild plum thickets ........ just to mention a few.
We caught these out in the open edge, but you can see where they're heading.
You have the perfect excuse for not shooting well ........you were carrying someone else's gun!!
Thanks for sharing the hunt, SRH
