If you really need to kill a lot of birds, go to a plantation in the SE and pay to play. But, there is no better feeling than guiding yourself to a covey of honest-to-God wild Bobs with your own pup on the prairie. (Unless it's doing like our original poster here, hunting on public land in the Old South.) Just my two cents. Adjusted for inflation, I probably need to send in some cash.

That's exactly where I am, John. I live two miles from Stoney Bluff Landing on the Savannah River, and one mile from the Screven Co./Burke co. line, on the Burke side, on Stoney Bluff Rd.

A New Yorker won't know what to do with himself (but I'm sure will quickly figure out) in the wide open spaces of sparsely populated land. Try it! Your pup deserves to get a few cockleburs and to fetch a wild Bob.

It seems to be a decent year for wild birds. Need it to cool off some down here.

This is in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Our numbers are nowhere near what yalls are but can still find a couple coveys if you're willing to walk. I find it much more enjoyable than release birds.

I'm not so sure we have more birds here, but I absolutely agree that a hard-earned Bob is a real gift...and so much better than a released bird.
