Kevin Diekroeger came out with cousin Tommy for a two day quail hunt, with some chukars thrown in on the second day. Little sleet and freezing drizzle but still some good hunts and some quail “flying like little rockets”. Ina and Penny did a good job, with Karen along for moral support.
What do you do when you are supposed to go duck hunting and everything is froze up? Do some upland bird hunting. This group from Mississippi, Indiana and Illinois planned to hunt some waterfowl, but the cold weather changed their plans and they had a blast hunting chukars and pheasant instead.
Kevin Diekroeger went out for a quail hunt with Penny and Ina. There were three mini-coveys of five birds each. Each covey had a nice rise and Kevin knocked down two on each, had the chance but just couldn’t get a triple.
Dwayne Ritchey and Grayland Bolyard enjoyed a upland mix of quail, pheasant and chukar. Mac and Sol did the dog work. Really nice covey rise toward the end 10+ birds, but obscured by the sun. Check out Grayland shooting left-handed due to a broken right hand.
Wayne Ingram and Louis Carter came out for a pheasant and Chukar hunt. Weather was a little too nice for the pheasants but Max along with Breeze and Autumn, wirehair pointers, were able to track them down.
Larry, Mike, Mickey Chris and AJ had a great time chasing around pheasants Friday after Thanksgiving. They only let a few get away, check out the video.
