Had a fabulous time.  I always wanted to get my Brittany into some first class wild quail.  Your description of 10 coveys per day with 10 to 20 birds per covey was no exaggeration.  I plan on coming back next year in November or December when coveys are even bigger.

I can’t tell you much about deer hunting—other than I saw several good-sized deer while I was quail hunting with Dale.  I had a great experience staying with Dale and Linda, and I would certainly recommend Dale as a guide.  He did everything possible to make sure that I had a good hunting experience, and I’m sure he’ll do the same for you.  I felt like the guide service was money well spent.

I experienced and exceptional quail hunt in Wheeler, Texas in the panhandle last Friday.  Dale and Linda Garner of Dalin Kennels, were my hosts and they are great folks.  This was a first time hunt with them.  I found them through the Wheeler  COC.  Amazingly, they moved their operation to Wheeler from Tennessee in June because “this is where the birds are.”  Solid logic, I’d say.  We moved eleven coveys and I shot my limit.  Now it’s no secret that the Childress to Canadian corridor is quail heaven.  As you know, lots of birds up there is typical if the circumstances support birds in Texas.

But I was especially impressed with the dog work.  The dogs we used on the hunt were:  Slick (an English pointer), Spice—Sr. hunter with show and NSTRA field trial points, Heidi, Droopy—4 points short of field trial Championship, and Moby—3 points short of field trial championship (all GSPs).  All are great bird dogs and very well trained.

I wanted to drop you a note to thank you again for the great hunting trip.  Renee is jealous after hearing all my stories—especially about Maggie’s retrieves.  We’re getting together with Jim later this week, and I plan to do some serious bragging.  But, after hearing just a little about the numbers of coveys, shells shot, and birds bagged, he’s all ready to return with me next year.

Again, thanks for the memories.  I’ll see you next year..
