Pictures that is.

Lets see a few.

I see all kinds of how to's, pattern your guns, what loads to use, terrain to find them, etc. That's interesting...for a little while but after a bit it's nice to see some success stories
Old or new is fine.

I really don't go after Upland Game specifically, but do enjoy chasing around Quail and Chuks when we bump into them.

Here's a couple from 06 I think. I was actually out calling coyotes when I bumped a large covey. Was hunting solo so I damn near wore out a set of boots chasing down a limit.






Here's another group we got I think 07? My friend and I were going out to do some night calling but headed out a bit early to see if we could flush some quail. Didn't find Quail but ran into these guys instead. We both ended up with a limit. Good day.

Nice! I never really tried hunting penned birds before.

No limits. Cleanin em is a chore though.

This picture was taken about 8-10 yrs ago up in Apple Valley where the ostrich farm had been built adjacent to residential and the feathers were blowing into the neighbors properties...not just a few feathers, like it snowed kinda feathers...all the time. So, there were law suits and city council meetings and rulings and finally, the farm decided to move down the river to Oro Grande. My friend had loaned his stock trailer and truck to them. This bird was a casulty of a little stampede in the AV farm. My friend has a sense of humor.

Wow, taking pictures of our bird hunts is something I seldom did. My hunting partners sometimes would, so will post a couple of those. OH, and awesome pics & hunt of all those devil (chukar) birds.

I'm not sure how these are turning out, but that's me in background with white shirt perhaps a couple yrs ago. Other pics were 19 years ago with my youngest son, then 14. He's 6'2" now, & I might have aged a tad since.

Here's a pic of the new dog and two friends last spring after the wild bird season closed. It's up a Keith's place, Ace Hi Adventures in the central valley. There's a Tennesee Red quail up in the air in the middle of the picture. The dog is steady on the flush (and shot).




Gathering of the doublegun forum guys in KS last December. Some pretty price iron there. One guy had a Holland and Holland sidelock, another had a Purdey, there was a 20ga AHE Parker, And many more outstanding sxs guns. Really a great gathering and hunt...'cept it was cold...-15 one morning.

Crappy pic!! But I spotted and stalked this turkey, shot him at about 15 yds? Mom cooked him up the next day for Thanksgiving dinner. What a lady!
