John, what a wonderful sound -- quail calling in summer. One reason for dark-thirty rising for dove here is to be able to locate coveys by their pre-dawn assembly calls. Log those covey locations and "look them up" come November. We have an October turkey season which is an even better time to locate coveys in the pre-dawn hours.
And then...you need to start planning which gun to use. Get the pups in some sort of shape (and yourself) so that you can walk those miles between coveys.

The images throughout this thread are part of a couple of projects I've been working on this summer while working to rehab my hand (old injuries turned arthritic). The theme, of course, is hunting -- dogs, guns and birds. It helps make the in-between time more tolerable. Thanks for indulging me...
