Went out to the IV this week for a quail/dove hunt and found this guy. First one ever. Man I love the IV.

Thanks longbow, I should have figured that out.

Nice. I used to shoot a lot of them down there in the 90’s. Few and far between nowadays. Congratulations.

That's awesome!

But where is his tail?

awesome work!

I still have yet to get one hertz.

Congrats! Good thing you got him before the coyotes. Looks like one of the planted variety. He wouldn't have lasted much longer.
I'm hoping to find a few next week as well.

What size shot did you have? I shot at a couple with size 6 with my 20ga and the damn thing kept flying..

I was using Kent upland fasteel #6-1oz.-1450fps. Good stuff. Haven’t had anything get away yet. @just_ducky_1 not sure where the tail went.

Pen raised roosters historically have short or no tails, because they're raised in cages.

Got these 2 from a Heritage field Friday...Short tail and no tail...One of them was with a rooster that had a tail that any Montana rooster would've of been proud of....lol
