That app is awesome. I've been using it for over a year. Completely FREE. It's great! For my in-blind bird ID book I use the one produced by Delta Waterfowl. It really is one of the best. The only downside is it doesn't have silhouettes of birds of the wing...

You're doing just fine. If you hunt it on back to back days I'm sure you will find day #2 harder. For whatever reason, my second day hunts are always much harder. I think it takes a few days for the quail to covey back up in their normal spots.

I think that is par for the course. Quail still haven't rebounded from the lack of water. Of course this is purely anecdotal from my time in the field. I hunt a premium ranch that is prime habitat. On good years everyone limits by 12 or 1. The last 3-4 years or so have been rough. I went...

Is this the same son with the checkered past?

I put in for every refuge in the state south of Delevan and didn't draw a single rezzie for the opener.... oh well.

Thanks FishDog! I thought it was ALL electronic decoy devices. (c) Prohibition on Electronically or Mechanically-operated Devices. Electronic or mechanically-operated calling or sound-reproducing devices are prohibited when attempting to take migratory game birds. It is unlawful to use devices...

A cart isn't needed at SJ. The blinds are very easy to get to. Some of the larger refuges, I would suggest a cart. Just have everyone in your hunt party carry 1 doz and you will be fine. DON'T USE MOTORIZED DECOYS UNTIL DEC 1st....IT'S ILLEGAL. Buck Gardner once said that if he had to...

I'll 4th it, but add this... I find my dove decoys work better when their outline can be distinguished the best. I haven't had too much luck with them camouflaged in a tree or bush. Put them on a barbed wire fence with no backdrop and they stand out and really work wonders. I like dead trees...

From the RNT Facebook Page... Today we lost one of the best Call makers and calling instructors there has ever been. He was a true craftsman and call building pioneer. His ability to strip down call instructions to its simplest form has been rivaled by none. Teaching more world champions than...

So I'm assuming this happens often?

me personally, no... Our group caught 8 yellowtail

So we went out on a privately chartered boat yesterday...I'm going to intentionally leave out the boat info... Our work group got to the docks and we are hanging out in the parking lot when we notice a few people that nobody recognized. The trip was open to family and friends so nobody wanted...

A dove call is pretty useless. You won't call in any dove by using it. I've tried. I have a Haydel dove call and it sounds great but flat out doesn't work. I still bring it every year but only as a novelty. It's great for giving your hunting partner a courtesy wake up phone call and...

Blake's. Blake wasn't guiding. Geese were thick but they pretty much ignored the set up. I don't think they had their spread right and I think it was over shot. Shot a ton of ducks and one speck. This year I've booked Kenny

Sage advice. Without a dog, one at a time. Especially if they are crippled. If they right themselves and run, you are hosed. They inevitably find the biggest briar and go in deep. If you hunt where there are briars, not even a dog will go in after them. Can't say I blame em. I wouldn't...

Last year in Sac I saw 25,000 each morning before 8am!

My buddy slays them in Yuma on public land. All my other buddies hunt El Centro and Blythe. Last couple of years I hear have been tough in Blythe but overall all my SoCal friends do very well out there.

Yep, guaranteed the truck was full of locals. Local yahoos. Hahahaha.

I've been hunting quail the better part of 15 years and sprig is right. No dog needed on valley quail. I've done tons of hunting without a dog and did just fine. Where I hunt the quail hold in big briar bushes and rock outcroppings. Without a dog, just go from briar to briar, bush to bush...
