Third time hunting at Drummond Flats since the season opened, Dec.1st. First two times out I missed a rooster each time that were gimmies. Dog hard pointed the first one and I jumped the second, both within shooting range, (hate it when that happens). Although, I have seen more Quail coveys this year than any other year. I did get a few but missed a bunch also. More & heavier cover this year and it makes for a tougher hunt when you're 78. Ha! It becomes difficult when you do not have GPS for your dog and can't see him in the thick cover. With that said I still look forward to the hunt each time and count it a gift.
Last year I hunted Drummond 25 times shot 5 roosters, lost another and missed four.
For those of you wanting to hunt Drummond be patient, put in the miles and you should be successful. Opening day there were few hunters which was a surprise to me, although it opened on a Monday. Today, Saturday there were more hunters in the field but only heard one shot.
Am grateful that I can still put in a few miles w/GunnR, my GSP, and occasionally scratch out a bird or two. If you need additional info you can contact me at (580)614-1372.
