Quail Hunting

I got drove back home after a short evening hunt today, and got this picture of our house with the sunsetting behind Steptoe Butt. It is a unique little cone that is about 23 miles away. That is where our closest cell tower is located. I'll hunt that lift shoulder sometime before the season is over.

This is very nice picture of the tree farm cover mentioned farther down.










I saw a good size covy of quail flush out of the back side of another similar cover, and fly into this brush patch. When we got 40 feet from this patch four or five singles flushed, but I still didn't get a shot off.












The brush to the left of this adandon house is just a different angle of the picture above. That's my pickup on the right.






Yesterday I hunted this tree farm with a friend. We heard lots of birds, saw quite a few, but only got three or four shots each, and three birds.











Two days till pheasant season starts. I kind of dread it. I'll get invaded by lots of hunters from all over the west. The bird population, at least around here, is low. Maybe hunters will get discouraged and not come back .
