I know that we are getting into the nesting season so I have been running my dogs (for exercise) in places where I have never seen birds and in grasslands where I dont really expect to see birds nested, well I got into a covey of birds today in a place ive never seen them. Indiana has no law about running dogs in the off season, but how long should I wait before i get my pup back out into areas where there are birds? Julyish? Also what kind of range does a covey of quail cover? 1/2 mile radius? more?

A limit on the strap is nice, but the kill has nothing to do with tradition.

I was surprised myself. i their were about 10-15 birds near as i could tell, they were on public land spread out over bout an acre of grasslands got up in pairs but were all right there together.

30 years I've never seen a covey this time of year
think you've found a superb place- don't tell anyone- least of all anyone on here or we'd all want to come check it out

Re: questions bout quail.....
well ive been frequenting the area running dogs for three years and have never seen a bird there so im not gona get too wound up. thats kind of why im curiouse how large of a range that a covey will use. I was just happy to see that after bumping the first pair my pup got down to the business at hand and actually pointed a couple of the other pairs.
