Oh but wait the treaty says he can If it was a white man he'd be thrown in the slammer

Oh but wait the treaty says he can

i dont believe it do if they agreed to its protection.
think most iwi agreed to the moratorium on taking them cos the were almost wiped out.
even rex forester had trouble back in his time in the forest service.
the most telling thing is docs seeming hesitation over prosecuting him??
making themselves more of a political pawn/porn than they realise or would care to admit.
great pic to eeebee,s

A short evening stroll working the rough along the creek with #1 dog .10 minutes in a pheasant flushed low straight away shot 36g of #2 steel dropped it in the creek for Shadow to retrieve Score 1 -0 .Another 10 minutes a pook presented a high crossing shot ,too easy 2-0 . Worked the rough until nearly dark when dog decided a sit wait was in order by the creek .He must of known there had been birds there & has done it before so as cold as it was I'll humor him . Bugger almost properly dark & another pook ,this 1 turned up to roost I think ,another water retrieve 3-0 game over .Home time buddy,was a 4.30 start .

Dog turned 7 yesterday and got his 8th rooster, happy birthday Horse.... And he didn't faint...

thats what i love about pointers at least they give you a bit of warning
unless he crowds them or stumbles onto them.
thats what gets me
the longer the 2nd flush takes the more jittery and likely to miss i am.
to much time to think is a bad thing sometimes.

its about to get tropical down here boys
so check your sheltered ponds side creeks and for the uplanders the roads and open scrub bereft parts of your quail range.
if this snow eventuates and is heavy the quail will abandon the heavy scrubbed areas and be running up and down the roads,rdrs, clearings.
it should force the ducks inland to or at least to the sheltered ponds and backwaters.

jesus wept found a covey of 15 odd quail reasonably staggered flushes 5 shots and i think i barely touched a feather

They sure are clever little birds, and they sure know when to fly off (like when your back is to them, or you going through fence or ducking under cover. Fly into a tree, fluke if you see one of them. Head into the thickest, nastiest stuff they can find. Their call is really "Ha, haaaa, ha."

And then there are the hunter everybody knows one . Who just manage to be in the right place perfect every time . And get bag limit or close to it quite regular .
