Quail Hunt S. Texas Style
I spent the weekend with a friend on his Beeville, Tx. ranch. As none of us own pointers (a pack of labs, no pointers) we use a friend's "Dial-a-Dog" service for serious quail hunting. We had him send us dogs and outriders for the hunt Saturday. We started in the fog and mist struggling with only 4 coveys, about 9:30 the front hit, a brief rain then 20-25 mph. North winds blew our caps off and blew out the wet. In an hour we were back in the field for some very challenging shooting and 15 coveys. Had a great day with some old friends and a great hunt. This is a property my friend and I have worked hard to groom for wildlife. We definitly are seeing results!
I shot my 26" 0 frame VH16, alas, the other 2 armed with an O/U and a Beretta auto.
Last 2 pics of the local brush, all mean stuff in crotch high grass from a record rainfall this past year. Tough walking! We'll be doing some serious controlled burning very soon.
Apologies for the rotated pics, can't figure out to correct this.
