Many times they don't flush until you literally kick them, so don't forget the heart meds 
Good luck, and don't forget the camera.

I second that haha! Never let your guard down, because they'll pop up when you least expect them to

Dont buy 6's!!! lol they wont let you use them. I think , Im pretty sure of it,that they wont let you use anything larger the 7 1/2 low base loads.Dont ask me why,but they do. I drew the pheasant hunt last year in rancho jamul and it was fun. And be ready they dont dizzy up the birds so they're really alert! Here are some pics of the hunt last year.
They DFG dog Roxy I think,her owner was awesome his name was Bryan I think.
Another on by the truck with roxy.
