Late Season Quail
« on: January 18, 2013, 10:24:00 PM »
I've been getting after them the last couple of weeks.  Two weeks ago, I couldn't miss and took home 7 with 11 shots.  Today not so much, with only two birds for 14 shots.  Same gun different day. 

I didn't see anybody else and had a mocking rooster get up at my feet in open country.  I'm working this weekend, so this was my last go around with upland.  October is a long way off.

great way to end the season- classic gun, cool dog, and beautiful country with wild birds.

Nice work! Way to give 'em hell batman. :tup: Is that the 12 or the 20?  Were they flushing wild? Did you miss the rooster?

That is a 20,  roosters closed last week.  I'm guessing he knew that and gave me the best look at one I've had all year.
