Charlie it’s obvious you are a Southern gentleman. When us Southerners talk about “birds” we know that means bobwhite quail!

Gary,

I am envious because as you well know, the Old Dominion was once like those photos, but it is "Gone With the Wind."

Jerry, I fear Missouri is headed that way, too. Poor Bob has almost everything against him today. I used to gauge a successful hunt by how close I came to a limit. Today a good day is just getting out with the chance to see a covey.

It’s interesting reading the replies to my post from folks who knew Bob in days past. I think he’s become a piece of nostalgia for a generation. I enjoyed the reminiscences.

Art, we live just north of Kirksville…and our Kentucky elk and otters are doing well.

I can remember looking out of my bedroom window when I was a kid and seeing coveys of quail in my mothers chrysanthemum beds not five yards from the window . But our next door neighbor farmer friend didn’t practice clean fence rows at that time .

I knew two older gentleman that lived down around Farmville VA . One of them trained bird dogs . Anyway the way they said birds there was no “I” in the spelling of the word .
