Geo, Doverham, are y'all noticing a shift from Boykins among southwest Ga. Quail hunters to English Cockers as pocket-sized retreivers on preserves? They seem to be on the upswing here.

GLS,

I haven't seen English or American cookers work on quail, but I have seen them work on our Pa'tridge while hunting with my dog's trainer. I'm always impressed on how well they work and how biddable they are.

My son and I hunted Montana last month. He is carrying AYA #1 20 gauge with 30" barrels choked cylinder and full. I custom ordered it for him and gave it to him when he graduated from college a decade ago. Lord how time flies.

This is a sharptail he took in an unharvested cornfield.


He made a very nice shot on this rooster.


This is Molly retrieving a Montana rooster. That is a GPS collar, not a training collar.

I am glad to be here.

^^^^ A cornfield no taller than that would be disced under instead of harvested down here.

Nice gun and choice of chokes, too.

That corn was pretty pitiful Steve.

He took that gun when we went to Cordoba dove hunting - again how time flies. Those chokes did work well for him there too. I'm sure the 25 year old eyesight and 25 year old reflexes didn't hurt him either. When a flight of dove came in he would shoot the back trigger and then the front.




I am glad to be here.

OOPS! Right, that is a sharptail.

Corrected my post.

Thanks!

Geo - as Raimey sez, you Jawjah boys don't miss much.

GLS - in the last five years of our quail hunting in in GA, I have not seen a Boykin, just cockers. I have not hunted over a Boykin, but have nothing but praise for the cockers I have worked with. Great on the flush, even better on the retrieve.


Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

I've hunted birds over both Boykins and Cockers. Boykins are all nuts. Who doesn't love a Cocker...Geo
