If there were only decent quail numbers, we would be headed that way!

I understand that the woodcock hunting in LA during January is pretty good.

We went some years ago and enjoyed it thoroughly. I've got my eye on southern Kansas...and then, maybe, Oklahoma.

Loved the great action photos! Your photos and narrative made me yearn deeply for times I've not had for over 20 years.
When you got 10" snow in northern Mo. I only got 2" down here in East central Mo. Small patches still linger everywhere. Thanks for posting. Don |

We got out today for our last Iowa hunt (we are headed to Kansas for warmer weather). We found some bare ground and above-my-knee drifts. The day started at 36 degrees with a light wind, and within an hour we went from sun and clouds to all clouds and a howling wind as a prairie front barreled through. The temperature dropped over 10 degrees in less than an hour. We found a covey and got a couple of chances. Aspen had 5 nice points, including a point of 3 pheasants that had to be kicked out. Of course they were all hens...and the pheasant season ended on Jan. 10. Going on a last hunt is not like other hunts. It seems more poignant, and makes one think of past hunts, past dogs, and when I was younger. I'm sure you must understand if you are recalling hunts from 20 years ago.
