Hey Scott,
Love bird hunting,,,,quail, grouse, pheasant, dove, love them all, but the best part of bird hunting is watching the dogs...back in the 70's my cousin had bird dogs... pointers...loved hunting behind those dogs...then the birds (quail) got far and few between.......no more fence rows (habitat)......it was hard to jump a covey in a day.. Still like a good dove shoot but it is a little different dogs are only retrieving no hunting/pointing.....
