I try to take first-timers often. One of these boys you may recognize from a previous post where I shared a photo of his first bird. His 2 brothers also wanted a taste so I obliged. We moved 4 coveys that morning and picked up a good bag of birds.

Yesterday's hunt started off slow and I was a bit worried for my 3 guests who drove from Atlanta (north Georgia) to join me at our lease (in South Georgia). The first two hours only produced one covey and it got up wild. But in the last hour the dogs pulled through and we moved 3 more huge coveys. The total tally was 3hrs, 4 coveys, and 8 birds. Our shooting.... well, it was pretty sorry! We had a blast!  Got beggarweed?  I used my AYA 28ga and my buddy left behind his Arrieta 16ga sidelock to use his newly purchased S&W Elite 20ga.  We also quite a variety of dogs... 2 Britts, 1 Setter, 1 Pointer, and 1 Musterlander.

That looks like soooooo much fun Adam! I'm from Indiana and we have those stick tights too. Your family is very handsome! May I ask descent (heritage) ?? Italian, Scot, English, Greek? Not prodding, just interested. Buzz

Absolutely Buzz! My dad is Irish/Scottish and my mother is Panamanian/Spanish/Chinese/English..... so quite a variety there! Guess you can say we're mutts!
And I dont mind those stick-tights... beggarweed is one of quails favorite foods.
And you're right, it is a blast!

Adam
In north Georgia we always referred to those "stick-tights"/beggar weed" seeds as "beggar lice"; for they are, after all, just about as difficult to remove from dog hair and clothing as the genuine article. Always enjoy the pics, by the way; so don't ever become weary of posting.

I always enjoy the pics in this thread! What impresses me the most about Adam, is not just seeing a successful young hunter, but one who shares that with other young hunters. Not much makes me happier than seeing the look on the face of a first time bird/deer, hunter or fisherman. Take someone hunting and introduce them to a lifetime of enjoyment!

Got back home from hammering mallards on the L'Anguille R. in St. Francis Co., Arkansas and took my oldest grandson, Jackson, this morning to a pond on the farm. He killed his first two ducks ever, a woodie and a gadwall. I couldn't have been prouder if they had been banded blacks.  All the best, "Papa" 
May God bless America and those who defend her.

He's a fine boy, Stan. Is that the pond over at "the camp"?
