Harold, I’m so glad you have found quail to hunt. Is there much competition? I can empathize with your “quick reload” to shoot situation. I seem always to have my gun open after the first shot when a sleeper gets up. I chalk it up to conservation. 😜

Good luck with your remaining season…and keep us posted.

Will Elaine and I see you at Pheasant Fest this year? I hope so. If not then, maybe the Southern?

Garry, no not much competition. Ive seen one other bird hunter in 6 hunts there. He was from about 2 hours away and had a pretty little female setter on his front seat. He only had a couple hours to hunt as he was in the area to give an estimate on some type of industrial job. I showed him a couple areas where I had been successful before, and heard him shoot later.
Mid January will find my friend Terry and I in SE S Dakota for 5 days. I hope to get in a few more quail hunts before season closes Jan 6th.
No plans for Pheasant Phest but may make it to the Southern.
