I agree that it was a great event. The kids had fun, and helping out the ranchers was awesome. That's my two boys holding the banner. (I don't know who the toe-head is though... ) There were so many people there, that I didn't get a chance to personally meet everyone, but it was still a good time. Sorry we didn't get a chance to formally meet each other Amanda, but I'm glad you enjoyed the quail. Anyway, I'll second what Amanda said; Hopefully more folks will turn-up next year. Even though there was a nice big crowd, it would be nice to see an army of volunteers next year! Good luck all! S.

Welcome Alan! I don't post much, but I watch this board daily. Very cool bunch of folks here! Good company.... I grew-up in Kearny (son of a copper miner) hunting muleys in 37B & 24A, but have been bitten by the coues bug of late. I've found lots of good help here, and great stories as well! Good luck! S.

Great story Amanda! Thanks for taking time to share the details with us. S. :-) PS: I know what you mean with the bad clutch. I had one go bad on a VW bug in high school, and drove for two weeks without one! You really CAN shift gears without one... :-)

That is awesome Brian! You & your brother obviously put in the dedication necessary to succeed. Kudos to you both! S. :-)

You don't know how badly I was wanting my bow right about then! I actually think that I might have been able to stalk into position for a shot. They were truly ignoring their surroundings... We ended-up only getting into one covey of quail (those mearns sure are harder to come by then the gambles I'm used to hunting....). It was a blast to watch the dog work the birds in the tall grass. Unfortunately my shooting wasn't up to par that day, and I couldn't reward him with a downed bird. Sure was fun though.. S. :-)
