my quail hunt

[rondog]

Did you hunt the Pan Handle?

Nah, we had relatives in Ellis County that had lots of land scattered around. There were several really good places to hunt, it was a LOT of fun. Nothing like having birds explode right up from under your feet when you least expected it. One uncle lived in a dried-up creek bottom, and there were hundreds of wild turkeys all over his place, and more deer and quail than you could imagine. I'm serious about the turkeys, they were all over his barnyard and corrals, just like big flocks of migrating geese around here. It was an astounding sight. He'd just poke a .22 rifle out the kitchen window and pop whichever one he wanted.

We're going back after Thanksgiving for a couple of days. The corn might be down by then and they'll be more birds in the fields I hope. The only thing is CU play the Huskers that weekend and all the locals will be at the bar and we'll be the only ones out there. Ah too bad!
