I spent the day hunting quail in Lyon county yesterday. We walked a LOT and saw 1 covey of 8 and another covey of 4. I don't shoot birds out of coveys that small so none were harvested. I couldn't believe how poor our luck was. Earlier in the season there were coveys everywhere up there. Perhaps the cold got em', but I'd like to think we just didn't find them. Best of luck to you wherever you're going. IF you go where the snow is deep and crusty, watch your dogs feet and stay off of the ice that you can't "afford" to fall through!
