I FINALLY got to get into the hills today and chase those little boogers that I love so much. I chomp at the bit all year waiting for Mearns season to roll around. Today was one of the best days I've ever had for Mearns. We had 7 coveys in about 3 hrs of hunting. And we only covered a TINY fraction on the available cover. It was unreal.. go 300 yards, covey.. go another 300 yards, covey... you get the idea . One of the highlights of the day was the my new pup, Virgil (ya'll remember him), had his first point on a wild covey. AND, he was backing and honoring points from my Brit, Penny. I was one proud papa to say the least!! Well, just wanted to share a few pics with ya'll... Hope you enjoy. Sorry about the crappy quality... I forgot the digital and had to grab a dispoable camera from the store on the way out. Glad I did!!!
Thanks for lookin...
