Tekoa Railroad Grade

Tekoa is a little town eleven miles north of us. Today we hunted along the county road about 6 miles north of Farmington in the RR grade that connects the two towns. The tracks were removed years ago. These first two pictures were of Juneau on another hunt a few days ago, but I liked the pictures so I threw them in.


This was today on the R.R. grade.
Here is a look at the cover. Lily is barely visible at left center.
This is a look at the old track bed. Right now the birds can be found in large flocks that flush 100 or more yards ahead of us. You can see 20 to 40 birds at a time, then walk for two more hours and see nothing. Most days I get a shot at a partridge, sometimse at a pheasant, but today I didn't fire a shot.
