Kevin Diekroeger and I took out his setter Penny and my German Wirehaired Pointing Lab, Sol to find some quail coveys. We found some coveys back in the pasture field and had a blast busting the coveys and knocking down some more singles. Good dog work and some fun, tough shooting in the pasture brush.

Jay Lowry brought out his cocker spaniel, George, to get some extra work in the field. George found an flushed the pheasants I set out in the milo strips in the Clubhouse Field. He did a nice job staying until released for the retrieve.

Bud Harold brought out his old pointer, Nitro, to run him on some quail mini-coveys, before Christmas. Nitro found the coveys and Bud knocked down as many as he could with a double barrel, before we got out his new pointer, My Girl, out of the kennel to work on her own quail. My Girl did a nice job finding, pointing and retrieving the birds all around the Cabin Field.

JD Stroud set up a hunt for his sons, Jeremy and Josh, just into the new year. Steve Sanders guiding the trio over at the North Tinkerfarm Field with his set of pointer, dropper and lab, Stella!. They had a lot of nice rises on pheasant and chukar with the birds getting out of the milo, prairie strips smartly. The second quail covey rise was a good one, scattering birds all over the field.
