Went out on Saturday and hunted our best private ground area. We found a really nice covey (about 20 birds in it full grown) in a fence row. Our 18 month old pup made a great point on the covey. We had troubles finding the singles - thinking the dogs were not able to smell them too good with the dry conditions. Got 4 out of the covey so there will be plenty left to hunt them again. 2nd covey had 12 young birds, they were spread out in a small patch of trees around a hay field that borders a soybean field. Took one of them and left the rest to grow. 3rd covey only had 8 big birds and they were in a grass strip in a corn field, got one and then let the dogs point the rest and didnt shoot anymore. Usually find 6-7 covies in the acreage we covered!
