Found them there a few times but it is a pain to
keep the flight from ending up on the rock.

The other day I was hunting on Ivy
at the house that is abandoned their had great quail
flights. Getting better used to the Dog etc…
and he was chasing stuff all over the place in the evergreen bushes by the
house. I saw him chase a Cottontail down
on foot around at the triangle to the north of the house..
he is very funny on what he wants to chase…sometimes…. |
|
He looked at me at one point and
had this weird sort of mischievious look out of the
corner of his eye… with one eye higher than the other… he streaks off the
fist and up and over to the hay barn. He flies all the way to the top of
the hay and nails a Great Horned owl square in the chest… I can see feathers
puff in the air and the owl screaming… he crabbed for a second and retreate to the rafters… I ran over there and swung the
lure and he came down immediately… thank god! I bet that scared the crap out of
that owl. I can believe he chased it.. amazing he was okay. |

The next day he caught his first
wild quail as it put into some tall grass. Hope everything is going great in
Montana! |
Typical Day: Goshawk early am while 30 deg… HH till 10am Siesta Chase quail in evening Repeat |
