Well, got out of cell range so couldn't give minute by minute updates. After Mike walked to the ranch house and committed grand theft auto and jump cables we got his old dog wagon going again. Time to boot up the dogs and as you can see Molly takes every opportunity to pose for pictures.

Pretty soon the turd hounds actually stumbled across a covey and no one was more surprised than Mike. Taylor, His son, Taylor, connected on a nice cock bird with his 20 gauge AYA #1 (the blur between Taylor and the dog is the cock bird)

Had to keep truck running all day cause we didn't dare turn it off where we were. Things got a little quiet during the day but the dogs came to the rescue again and Mike actually connected on a bird with his 20 Parker A-1 Special (original).

Me? I shot my little Parker VH 16 on an 0 frame. Picked up a bob and also a unfortunate Eurasian dove that came wandering by.
It appears bird numbers have improved slightly over last years disaster but would rate poorly compared to four or five years ago. We ended in mid afternoon with three or four covies found. Weather was warm and a bit of wind. Fun day!
