Very nice, the future of our hunting and gun rights in this country is to be in the hands of educated youth! Keep the dream alive and take the kids hunting!!! God Bless!!
My oldest went deer hunting with me this year for the first time. I tried for years now he is hooked at age 35! My wife and alll 3 kids love to shoot. No pheasants here in Northern IL. anymore. Very little habitat, farmers plow almost to the road! Im looking forward to retiring in three years and moving to northern Idaho! Maybe I will get to hunt quail or partridge again. Till then busting clays, coyotes,squirrels and deer!

Stan, I was impressed with your picture of the partridge pea field. Is that natural or did you plant that on purpose.

Do you have a way to harvest the seed? I understand that the seed is quite expensive to buy...Geo

It was planted by a good friend, George. He has about 900 acres that he manages for quail, and the cost of the seed is really no object to him, if you know what I mean. It was absolutely beautiful when in full bloom. He releases 1600 very specially raised birds each August, in 25 bird coveys. These birds are kept away from human contact almost completely by the person who hatches and raises them. By January they are unbelievable in their flushes.

We did not harvest the seed, but left it. A very good stand came back volunteer this past year. I plant the sunflower field, that I did the thread on a couple years ago, on this same place each year.

Talk about deer. Illinois has some seriously monster whitetail deer.

Kwalley, can you guys use centerfire rifles in Illinois or is it shotgun only or is it mix depending on county?

Georgia Quail hunt with my Garbi 28ga sidelock while my buddy used his William Powell thumb-lifter 20ga boxlock. Always a fun time.

Welcome to the board, Spring. Nice looking quail cover. Glad you are able to post pictures. I've got a 28/410 Rizzini combo that looks a whole lot like yours. Good guns.

Good pics as usual Adam, and pretty guns, too.

All my best, SRH
