Quail Hunting Member Since 1982
Last hunt of the season. Six quail for 11 year old Belle is a good day.
I tried not to take more than a bird or two out of a covey. I figure I'm not the only guy in the club that would like to get a few birds so I try not to get greedy. I get as many as I care to eat and don't really see much point in shooting more than that. I might add, Jon, that I never hunted the same property unit more than twice all season which is a real testimonial to how much good land is available.

I guess I don't have to tell you that the bird population was down this year, but there were still enough birds to keep things interesting. I managed to get out about 25 times and found a little over fifty coveys and shot about 70 birds. I mainly just shot birds over points and tried not to take more than a bird or two out of a covey. I figured it was a good year to give the birds a break. The good news is that it looks like there is plenty of seed left out there. If we can get a good spring to go along with the mild winter, the birds could bounce back real fast. Once again I hade a great time, Some days the hunting is better than others, but every day was fun. I'm already looking forward to next year. Sincerely, Jerry

Just wanted to take a few minutes to say thanks for another excellent quail hunting season. I hunt by myself most of the time, as you know, so I don't usually try to turn it into a marathon. Some days I may hunt three or four hours and on other days I might hunt an hour or two. I averaged about three covies a day which I think is pretty good for one guy with a ten year old dog. It says a lot for the quality of the lease land acquired by the club. 
Thanks again. I really appreciate all of the hard work you do putting all of this together.
