Toad,
I just wanted to add, I found a lot fewer quail around here than I expected. After last season, I was pretty optimistic (ya know, thinking I might see 5 coveys/day if I worked at it). Lemme tell ya, I'd have to hunt sunup to sundown and I'm still not sure I'd find 5 coveys this season.
I have gotten used to finding covies in some of the same spots year after year. I was really disappointed to not see two of my most reliable. Really wanted to get the pup on birds... The wind was wrong when we went through one of the draws and crossing back and forth was tricky due to the rain we had last week. I'm REALLY hoping they were around and the dogs were just out of position to find them. I shoot very few quail, but it is nice to be able to put the dogs on them.
I thought about going back to the same area this morning, but I'll probably try another spot instead.
