Upland season 2018, how’s everyone’s season going?

[buglebuster]

How’s everyones season going this year? So far I’ve done pretty well with 40 quail, 6 roosters, and a hun. Dogs are working well.

Not as well as yours 

Been seeing you post and pic on FB 

Wanting to get put but with this bum knee it has not happened yet. Walked a road last weekend for grouse,  made it maybe 1/4 mile and had to turn back 
Hopefully try again this weekend,  it all depends on the knee...... but it is getting stronger....

Been pretty solid so far. Have only made it east one time but am hoping to get back after a couple quality hunts end in November. Been too dang busy for another trip. West side pheasant has been pretty productive after work as well.

Great looking dogs. I am a lab and springer fan. I take it those are eastside quail?

Yes all east side and all wild pheasants as well

It's been an awesome season! I've been hunting with my 6 month old GSP and he has been doing great!
13 quail
14 roosters

Hard to shoot a quail when you might jump a rooster.

Love the English Springer:) Know of any litters in the area?

Only had time to get out for the opener so far but we had a pretty decent shoot. Was disappointed in the small amount of quail we got into after hearing from multiple people how good the hatch was this year.

We've been kicking ass out there!  Lots of birds this year and have killed 14 rosters so far and 10 or so quail.

Quick bomb over trip for a day. Started the day with mallards on the pond, and were chasing quail by 9. Three spots produced  over 200 quail total. Best numbers I have seen in many years. Worst shooting in as many years.

That first pic in the thread is about as cute as it gets. Priceless. I better get bird hunting in Washington.

10 more tonight and a bonus rabbit

Been out 3 times in Washington this year.

The old gal has done good on all three short strolls (<4 miles total). 8 quail and 13 chukar.

Another fun day. Lots of quail, but on a solo adventure. Birds produce many no-shot opportunities. Reminder for folks without good dogs to please not shoot out over vast thickets with no chance of retrival. Tough watching mega covies bust, with plenty of easy shots, but we owe it to the sport.

Good times...
