Myself, John and Pete hit the IV for birds on Friday and Saturday. Saturday's focus was quail, and we did pretty well. Every spot we checked had birds, and more than we could remember in recent memory. Seems like one rainy season really helped the population. We stayed in one large field chasing birds for a couple of hours there were so many. No dogs, so we had to work really hard.
We always talk about bringing our fishing rods on these trips but never follow through. This time we did, taking several hunting breaks to throw lures in the nearest canal. None of us have any specific experience or knowledge in these waterways but we managed quite a few small bass. I know there are bigger ones out here too. Top lures were a chartreuse chatter bait and a yellow rooster tail.
We targeted dove on Saturday morning. Hadn't seen many at all on Friday, but one field looked promising and we had an OK morning shoot. Later we chased quail again and fished a little, then came back to this dove field later in the afternoon and each of us finished with near 15-bird limits.
Pete spotted a rattler and called me over to take a picture of it. I sat down my gun about ten feet away and snapped a few photos, at which point the snake crawls directly to my shotgun and commandeers the weapon. Crafty serpent! Soon he crawled into the irrigation outlet to the right and I got my Beretta back.
Some interesting stuff in the IV.
Why this next picture? The single guy in our group, Pete, talked about his crush on Wonder Woman as much as he did about hunting.
Good luck everyone!
