First Quail Hunt of the Year

[yumabowhunter]

I was able to sneak away Saturday morning to shoot my first birds of the season. I had a buddy in town so we got out to the desert at sunup and were both limited out by 9:30. I havent seen this many birds in years.

 

The other great thing is there was nobody else out there. The only other person I saw was a game warden.

 

My boys were none to happy to see their dad pull into the house at lunch time with the Ranger full of quail and they didnt get to go.

That's taking care of business right there Mitch!

I gotta make it down that way sometime.

was the game warden Joe Sawer?

 

No. This was a new guy Id never met before. Eric something. Really nice guy. The manager of the unit is women who is nothing short of the gestapo. She really doesnt think that "we" the common people should be using "her" resources and dsert. Needless to say it was a nice surprise to meet this nice guy.

my college buddy is a game warden based out of the Yuma district, I am not sure what units he covers but he does alot of check ups on bird hunters, says its good shooting down there, good job on your hunt!
