They need to have a controlled burn there. Lots of dead trees.

+1That's what we load for every gauge on quail loads. You will bite down on a lot less shot if you shoot them at dove also. I'm either gonna have to bite the bullet and start loading my own or find someone nice enough to load them for me.

I wish they made more 7 shot for 20ga. You pretty much have to load your own to get #7s or shoot steel. I'd shoot nothing but 7s if they sold them. I shoog both 6s and 7.5s now.

Yup. The sums it up.

What kind of pants do you quail hunters wear in our AZ desert? The LL Bean ones I wear aren't great for our desert cactus because the needles go right though them however they are breathable. Have you guys found any the keep the thorns out and are breathable during the warm days? Is briar too hot ?

Hahaha

Yet a fraction of the cost of a purebred. I'm a purebred person, I'll spend the money on a purebred dog however some people will spend $400 on a mixed breed. heck if you adopt a mutt that has been abused it's $500. Dogs aren't cheap.

Almost stepped on this fat guy this morning. Snake avoidance training worked with the dog.

Don't know if you found a gsp yet but I just saw some on Craigslist that were 3/4 GSP and 1/4 lab. $350.

F that thing.

You like bluegrass? Check these guys out

Brian has some http://highwayends.com

Talk to a trainer, look into a stress jacket for the dog during windy days. This all starts when they are puppies. Getting dogs exposed to different things at a young age is key.

Many options out there. I go to Bob at Desert Pheasant Rec. $60 and free re checks if I recall correctly

If your wife or you use essential oils, rose geranium essential oil works as a repellent and it is safe for dogs. Also, check at Bug and weed mart they may have something you can use to get rid of them.

Ugh no. Where do you live.

No doubt!!! This one Tres posted is all coiled like one of the dirt clumps beside him. As a guy who got a 1 fanged partial dose when I was youngster quail hunting I can say I don't ever want full dose venom! I had small scratch and small puncture due to my good vertical jump abilities back then but dang sure got sick That afternoon and had severe muscle cramping/spasms in calf to point of couldn't walk. Have worn snake guards since and been struck multiple time bird hunting. 😡 Yeah I thought it was cow shoot. There is a reason I don't go quail hunting until mid to late November.

He actually didn't alert me. He was running looking for birds when I almost stepped on this guy. My dog didn't know he was there until I started dealing with the snake. My dog came running down wind from us and slammed his breaks 15-20 feet back from me and wanted nothing to do with what I had. Usually dogs will put there noses right up to something you are messing with. Some dogs get wind of the snakes and bark at the snakes. Some dogs just put their tales between their legs and avoid it all together after snake avoidance training. My dog stays away from them that is all I ask. The rest is up to me to pay attn to where I am stepping.

He was thick.
