very sorry its tough to lose one.I shot 7 this weekend. Birds are decent west of 35. I’ve heard them in some spots east. Haven’t hunted. My pointer died this weekend, so I don’t know how hard I’ll hunt this season.

Great dog!Took Clyde out with a dual mission of scouting for deer and hoping to get him on some birds. Well, he got his first encounter with wild quail. Spent two hours chasing a huge covey all around a cut corn field. I was a little mad at first, but after watching him for a bit, and realizing there wasn't a chance we could get up close enough to shoot them with the corn cut down so low, I just enjoyed the little guy having the time of his life. This was taken mid chaos, thought it captured the moment pretty well. View attachment 319483
We ended up going out and trying to clean up some cripples that someone had left around a pond, definitely another big learning experience. He found blood here, probably roughly where a duck landed. He wouldnt leave the spot until I checked it to his satisfaction. A far cry from blowing out coveys of birds repeatedly. I think if I do my part he'll be a solid dog eventually.View attachment 319484
