Just got back to the freezer (WI) 2000 miles each way, but the Mearns is a good traning bird for young dogs! Thank you, ROD

Thanks Doug. Can’t wait to get out there again with you in the future. Those green chili burgers are calling my name too.

That’s so awesome to hear Doug. I still get jittery and excited when I hear those birds chirping in the brush, and don’t even get me started on that covey rise. There is nothing like it. Best of luck and have fun.

I’m in trouble lol… did not shoot any quail but my goal was just to flush a few covey’s. I did flush 3 covey’s but only shot at one group. I was just so exicited I actually found quail. Lots to learn beautiful day, now my head is full of churping can’t wait for the weekend.

Thanks so much Alan. I absolutely agree and feel that most of those who spend time in outdoors have a similar experience. Best of luck on the upcoming trips.

I am a fly fisherman, not a hunter. But your description of that sudden, powerful realization of how good life is, in particular when there in the sun, in the water, by the hillsides of grass, or in the forest, brings to mind feelings I have had on many trips. It is truly one the many reasons I choose to keep going back chasing the wild trout. Thanks for the reminder. I always say its good to have something to look forward to. So far I have trips in Jan, Feb, and April planned and I am tying flies now for those trips. The anticipation of the wonder and joy of being on the water is really good for me.

Enjoy the season and the holidays with the family,

Alan
