I resemble very closely the description you give Mike, on your success rate while quail shooting, er, quail hunting!
I dropped one last year that fell into the brambles. The dogs being smarter than I, kind of sniffed around the patch and continued on with my brother and friend. Being an ethical hunter, and hitting one, being a very rare occasion, I waded into the bramble patch-didn't make it too far, before I realized I wasn't going to be too successful in the search. I looked like I'd gotten ahold of pis...ed off tom cat, so yea WJL, I can certainly relate to the brawl aspect, but I don't quite understand the "successful" part yet!
