I have been counting the days till the opener, we located the quail back during the archery season and I was shooting sticks at them. Checked up on them again last month during dove and they were still there so thought this hunt was going to be in the bag. Met up with Andrew at first light and just a few other hunters pulled up as I was parking. A mustang on the back roads in the wilderness is always a conversation piece, wished each other luck and set out on our way. We got to where the covey had been for months and no birds to be found. Started moving around the property working the hills and managed to find two more coveys and both were onto us. Last month when I could not take a shot at them we literally walked up to a bush and had to make a noise to flush them, they were holding. Today at 100 yards they spotted us and booked it right up their hillside into some of the thickest brush around. The first covey we followed up the hill to no avail, the second one they just jumped into a wall of brush with no way in what so ever and disappeared instantly. We were on the birds but couldn’t get within range. We will be back. Dropped a couple of Cameras to help fill my AO tag, see what they find.
Anyone have any luck today?
