Better than nothing

sorry to leave you hanging rusto, went to a "missouri quail restoration landscape" opening week. buddy and i hunted as best we could, as the shortest cover was 3-1/2 to 4ft tall, warm and dry. couldn't see my setter most of the time, but i could hear him breathing. he got birdy in 2 places, and i found a roost in between. at some point, they mow strips thru these places making them almost huntable with one or two dogs.

this place was a tricked out piece of ground that resembles a partially abandoned farm that was seeded especially for quail (Forbs) with a few small crop fields and varying edge. didn't venture into the successional growth this year. still remember getting badly scratched up thru a flannel shirt last time.

does your dog point woodcock same as quail? all my past setters would shake and look all around when they pointed woodcock
 
My gang points them the same. I'm walked in to more Woody type habitat and been shocked to get up quail and vice versa.
