You don't know how badly I was wanting my bow right about then! I actually think that I might have been able to stalk into position for a shot. They were truly ignoring their surroundings...
We ended-up only getting into one covey of quail (those mearns sure are harder to come by then the gambles I'm used to hunting....). It was a blast to watch the dog work the birds in the tall grass. Unfortunately my shooting wasn't up to par that day, and I couldn't reward him with a downed bird. Sure was fun though..
