    Terrible/wonderful day

    Thought I would look for new WIHAs closer to Missouri. Drove around and all areas were grazed like my lawn. Finally found a property line with a little cover. Quail flushes. Dogs start pointing what appeared to be old scent. Made a short circle and on the way back, dog acts like another flushed...

    Winter affects?

    How do you think the quail are doing this winter? Temperature has been very beneficial. Lots of rain. How is the rain affecting carryover? Thinking quail are doing well. Would like it to be more consistent next year.

    2 for 2?

    I saw the wounded quail on the ground right where I marked it. The dogs were searching diligently 15 yards away. I went ahead and bent over to grab the quail. The quail gets up slowly and starts to fly away. Another shot puts it down for good. As far as my shooting is concerned, would you say I...

    Does anyone float the bird?

    My new Benelli Vinci shoots so high, I have to float the bird. The barrel needs to be about six inches below the bird. I think if you have to float a quail or pheasant, the gun should be labeled a trap gun. My quest for a bird gun continues. Looking for an over/under that shoots fifty/fifty...

    Empty crop

    Yesterday, the quail I shot had an empty crop. Is it normal for the crop to be empty? I always thought quail ate all the time. Do they finished what's in their crops before they eat again? Took this bird at 10 am. What does an empty crop at 10 am tell me?

    Does anyone butt bang?

    I am a decent shot. However, I always miss one presentation, long, slightly quartering shots. Much like trap shots. I shot a round of trap years ago. I liked my score and went on to skeet. This year I went back to the trap field. It wasn't as easy as I first believed. On straightaway shots, I...

    Second quail hatch

    Saw a quail pair yesterday. No chicks seen. Couple questions. On warm days, do quail leave the nest? Seems like incubating eggs would not be necessary 100% of time during hot weather. Is the first hatch completely left on their own? Do the adults check on them? Do they stay near the nesting...

    Dewayne Bowe pooped on my porch

    Dewayne Bowe the GSP, not Dewayne Bowe the football player. Dewayne stayed in a pen before he came to me. At night, he does not want to get his paws wet so he poops on my porch. Tried to keep him a crate at night and monitor his business. Not working. Anyone have any feeding recommendations so...

    Swing thru help

    Shoot pretty well on level ground. Struggle with hills and tree line shots. Have to use swing through more. Started shooting trap. My question is where you insert the gun. Say you were shooting quail swing through. Do you insert the gun two feet back, four feet, etc? Wouldn't be too concerned...

    Shoot them in the head?

    I used to hunt with a guy who never missed. He said he hardly ever leads a quail/pheasant. Focus on the head and pull the trigger. For years, I shot with one eye closed. Always too slow. Mainly shot at tail feathers. Many quail flew off with a leg dangling. Now that I use both eyes, I focus on...
