[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 887936, member: 5412"] Quail season opened up today. I went deer hunting this morning, and saw a few, but nothing close enough to fling an arrow at. This afternoon we went to a lease in noble county, that is 120 acres of fresh cut milo, with brushy water-ways running through it. I hope this is an indication of things to come, as we moved 4 huge coveys of quail on the small area, also getting up a couple dozen roosters, and lots of hen pheasants. We had my Brittany, and one of the other guys had a shorthair. The birds were there, but would not hold for a point at all?? Even hunting into the wind with a slight drizzle, they would flush as soon as the dogs got close to locking up on them. About 3/4 of the way around the field, my dogs beeper indicated he was locked up on a point really solid, and a friend circled around the back side of the johnson grass clump, and I saw two bobcats run out the back side. Not season so I couldn't shoot them, but I can guarentee when trapping season opens, we'll be in there trapping them out. We did manage to get a couple of birds, and I can sure tell I'm rusty on my wing shooting, but with this many birds, it won't take long to get polished up again. [/QUOTE]
