Hunting From Home

[mobirdhunter]

Decided to head South about 2 hours to find less snow. First time this year on this farm. A brutal cold front came in during our afternoon as we started in 38 degree weather and left early as the wind hit 30 mph and the temperature had already dropped 10 degrees.

The good news: we found three large coveys of un-hunted birds. The not so good news: I managed 2 birds with 7 shots(!)

Chris, I do occasionally hunt the pups together, depending on the cover. They honor each other well, but Rill, prima donna that she is, wants to push out too far, bringing Aspen with her. Hunting fence rows, this is not good as this old man and his wife can't keep up (and birds rarely hold the time it takes me to stumble up). No more field trials for my aging bones.

Harold, we expect reports of your quail hunting in WV. Those darned deer seasons can steal some good days from us.
