Was repointing some brick at a customer's house (development with appx. 3 acre lots) when I noticed this guy lounging casually. He let me get within about three feet of him before strolling back into the landscaping between the fence and the pool. Quail numbers are good again this year, and needless to say, am seeing them where they haven't been for years.  Mike

Hey all, well today was our Pheasant Opener and it was a good one. Rick Timmers, Wade Burns, myself and my son Jim went out to a friends farm. There was some light snow on the ground in the morning, so it was wet going as it melted. Wade brought his dog Lakota (and she's a darn good dog BTW) and I brought Raina. We all filled (except Jim, always in the wrong place at the right time as he says!) and we got a couple grouse also. Did see a lot of birds, more than I expected, a good day with some good folks! Wade (left) and Rick (right), Jim left early for work so no pic of him  I used my Purdey 12b  Guess we'll see what tomorrow brings! Best! Greg

No exotic location or beautiful mixed bag, but our first trip to the field for the year. I say "our," but PA has a special junior hunter only season that gives anyone 12 to 16 years old a two week head start on birds, so just the boy was hunting. It took all of 15 minutes for Kaiser to root out two state stocked birds. My son did his part, and we were headed home.  The bird in the foreground was a TANK. It was like a jake turkey.

Hey all, went out again today with Wade, Rick and Greg W. It was a very windy day, 20-25mph. Did see birds, but they were spooky. I managed a limit and Wade got two, Greg & Rick didn't fair well. Still a good day! Wade and Greg and Lakota  I used my 12b F.A. Anderson  Going out again tomorrow, hope to do as well again. Best! Greg

Hey all, went out again today, it was a very nice day, lower winds, sunny in the 50's just about perfect. Took longer today to fill, for some reason the birds didn't want to hold well. Got a grouse as a bonus, but didn't see any huns. Raina did a great retrieve, went down a very, very steep hill (almost a 80 degree one) and got him. Good day! I used my 16ga Arrieta 871  And.............Raina!  Best! Greg

Gorgeous Stan! I just came across 54 boxes of paper western 16g shells. My buddy shot his limit quickly with some. They are a treat
