Harold, I was wondering how your hunts had been going, so I was pleasantly surprised to finally see your post. I'm sure those photos are filled with great memories that will be cherished by you for many years to come, but I do see why the first one is a favorite.
Good to see you found some quail(!). You'll have to tell us more about your WV quail when your technology is "fixed." The hardest bird to hit in my experience is a wild Bob in grouse-like cover (we call them "woods quail" here in Missouri).
Thanks for sharing your photos!
