Terrible/wonderful day

Crossing shot

Thought I would look for new WIHAs closer to Missouri. Drove around and all areas were grazed like my lawn. Finally found a property line with a little cover. Quail flushes. Dogs start pointing what appeared to be old scent. Made a short circle and on the way back, dog acts like another flushed.

Drove around more. All areas no cover. Stopped at a state wildlife area. Within thirty minutes, Astro indicated my shorthair was on point. When I reached him, he was backing my 14 year old britt, Sue. Wonderful sight. Big covey gets up.

They flew into an area that was hard to hunt. Called it a day with a memory that will last a lifetime and a lot of hope for next year.
 
I did some bird watching myself this month not too far west of where you were. Wasted a few shells too. :D
 
Ain't it great when the pups give you what you expected all along? Congrats! I could sure use another month of season.
