The quail are most likely holdovers from spring training back in April that happened to survive and made home of the same abandoned orchard that the two grouse were taken in. Was a nice surprise to bust the covey. Was a hell of an evening. We had already limited on woodcock earlier that day.

I sure am envious of all the nice bird varieties you guys have in the Northern Region. Here in Tennessee were are over ran in Turkeys and not much else these days. Dove hunting and Turkeys we have lots of. Quail have all but went away.

Very nice, John! Looks like your pup did everything just the way that you wanted her to do. I look forward to hearing more stories about your trip to New England when next I see you.
Sorry we missed you on our trip to Lovells. Spent a couple great days in the alder thickets with Dale Gray and his GSP's. We flushed lots of woodcock and enough grouse to be encouraging!! The Parkers performed admirably. And we left some cash behind at the NBOC... LOL! You can always find something you need in a good fly shop, especially if it's got a hunting twist to it, as well! Dave
