Any Bobs you happen upon are going to be the result of someone raising them and either having escapees or flat out turning them loose,I raised them for years and had a breakout where they went rogue in the spring.They paired up,nested,had little ones and survived,there were about 3 coveys that were seen in a 2 mile radius from where they escaped,the coveys got to be up around 20-25 birds,they were spotted off and on for 3 years and then, one bad winter did them in.Lot's of coyotes,birds of prey and housecats and not much in the way of grain feed for them.Back when NSTRA was having trials on a more regular basis on Fort Lewis than happens now a lot of birds were surviving and doing their thing.

They were rumored to be in the Umptaneum, but I have never seen one.

Yes, there are a few in the Umptanum.  They'd show up at my place in the Wenas.

Dale Davis who lives/lived north of spokane who bred pointers had a whole rearing/raising system that he marketed,he was also a breeder of pointers including Hall of Fame inductee "Jerry's Runaway Bandit" I heard he had quite a lot of them established and that his neighbors were involved in the program and the prime directive was to not shoot any. I vaguely remember the population in his area to be at 25 thousand birds.............
