I have not done the quail in many years and they are all gone. I did see several roosters in the spring and some hens. I’ve had reports of roosters fighting over the hens earlier in the spring.

I picked up 250 day olds about a month ago and left them come out of the brooder house for the first time. They got a visit from one of the several holdovers that are in the area.

Found some birds after work with Scout and Champ. Also found a den of some type. We flushed 11 birds. The last release was prior to Christmas.

I don’t think they are too interested in Penn State. Connor wants to wrestle in college and he’s not a D1 wrestler. And psu costs so much for a state school. A lot of private schools end up costing less after grants. aides and scholarships are given out. It’s crazy! But who knows what will...

Yep. Carson is 13 and Connor is 15. Football is ending and basketball along with wrestling is starting up. Next year both will be in high school. Enjoy the season!

I got Carson out after school and we put up 1 bird. Still too warm for my liking but it all worked out. I won’t get to post often but I plan to get out as much as I can.

Good for you. I was done in 30 minutes today. 2 points, 2 shots and 2 retrieves. Saw more hunters today than I usually do. I had plenty of time to clean up and go pick up my youngest from football practice. Good luck to everyone for the rest of the season. I’ll be out with my other boy...

Took the dogs and gun for a walk today. Saw 1 rooster on the drive to the fields and 2 on the way home. Saw 0 while hunting. It was a nice morning.

Scout is doing well. He needs to learn to pace himself at the start but that will come with age. He doesn’t run quite as big as he used to but he still covers a lot of ground. He is a better hunter this year and I think next year he will put it all together and start to enter his prime years.

I was able to get out yesterday and took 2 roosters. I’ll work on adding pictures. I plan to get out a few days next week.

Nice work.

The coming snow storm may be to blame for the change.

The state has tried to bring wild birds back using wild birds from the Midwest. It has had mixed results. The area with good habitat have had some good success but it is limited. The areas that do have wild birds have limited hunting (youth only) and only for roosters.
