Nothing better than hunting Quail with good setter dogs, nothing better
Ive had more than my share of fine hunting dogs

Tails at 12:00.cracking as they run, beautiful fluid movement.
But when one pulls into point and another honors it, that beats everything.
A thing of beauty

We have some prime pheasant hunting here and without a dog they either try to hide or run away on the ground just out of range instead of flushing.

My hunting buddy kept black labs, one named Rosie and the next one Ruby that were a delight to pheasant hunt with. If they said it was a bird, it was a bird, although it could be a covey of quail or chukar instead of a pheasant.

 

[OleReynard]

Trick to hunting pheasants wait till late morning after theyve eaten.
They're not as prone to run with a craw full

 

[Gray Wolf]

I don’t know what a chucker is…

Its a type of partridge.

I walked up over a little rise, and twenty feet in front of me was a circled wagon train of quail, all facing outward. Never saw anything like it again.

I got three with one shot and one taking off. Bolt action POS Mossberg 16ga

 

[OleReynard]

I prefer quail to eat more than pheasant.
Having pheasant for Christmas dinner, game farm down the road.
Or maybe one of these turkeys that come thru here

Chuckars like to hang out in picked fields not too many hunt picked fields.
Most of our fields are cut to the ground every now and then you'd run into an ear picker

We usually paid farmers to hunt their cornfields after harvest.

Sometimes when they do that it's cuz they're protecting a hurt bird

I'd lease also at times, most the time the landowners were glad to see me or us

I like the dryness of pheasant with the recipe Grayfox uses.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut the orange in half, Squeeze the juice from orange into the cavity of the pheasant and over the skin. Rub the bird inside and out with salt, pepper, sage, and paprika. Cut the remaining orange half in half and place along with the garlic and parsley, into the cavity of the bird.

Remove the foil and pour the wine raisin mixture over the pheasant. Bake uncovered, basting frequently, until the juices run clear when a thigh is pierced with a sharp skewer, about 45 minutes.

Remove the pheasant and spoon some sauce over. Serve with the balance of the sauce in a gravy bowl.

It had a 2-round magazine.

It cost me $7 and a six-pack of beer before you were born. Looked great with that variable choke on the end... but, there is a design flaw in that clip/magazine/abortion:

It is absolutely guaranteed to jam EVERY single fargin time if you pull the bolt back in a hurry to get second shot off <-- Something those who are hunting flocks of birds might just do every now and then.

To give an idea of what a POS it is, take a lookit the NO BIDS on the one in the link. You could get it for a penny, and then pay about $70 for shipping.

Here's another they are going wild about. Remember: This is a very good condition example. The top bid is equal to the cost of five Happy Meals excreted through the Golden Arches:

If you ever played the old video games like Zelda, Mario, mortal combat you will enjoy the first 5 minutes of this show.

My favorite part is Mario segment that starts at 2:50

I was lucky my parents had 640 acres in eastern Kansas.

I was lucky growing up too, because it was a small town and most of the land owners would let us hunt or fish on their land and we usually shared the yield with them. Here in Oregon, the larger farms are corporate farmers, so they are looking for any income stream they can find.
