I'm watching for that phone call like a chicken watches for a hawk! I sure will buy her back if she proves too much for him. Not his first bird dog, but his first pointer. This was her two weeks before he took her home.

Re: should have kept her...
Who wants a 7 month old pup ranging 800 yards anyway. You did good to sell it! Depends on what he is looking for in a dog. If that purchaser was looking for that kind of dog, he wouldn't be calling asking about it. Chalk up another one sold again as a 'started' dog. :) This pup was sold at 8 weeks....

You never know which one of the litter is going to be "THE" one until you get that phone call...."is it normal for a
7 month old pup to be ranging out 800 yards?...". I just smiled to myself and thought ""bleep"! Should have kept that one!"

Re: My first AZ Quail Hunt
What I like about the AZ license is that it runs from Jan 1 to December 31, which means if you buy a year license in January of this year and only hunt a couple times before the end of the 2010/2011 season, you can still use the same license next huntin season up to December 31.

The last few years I've been only able to hunt on the weekends, all on wild quail or chukar, except for a trip to Patagonia, AZ a couple years back. I guess that is better than nothing. This year I hope to spend a week hunting on the prairies for sharpies/huns/pheasants. We will see how it goes.
