All the quail we shot were blues. The ranchers keeps telling me that he has bobs and Mearns on his place, but I have only seen 8 Mearns two years ago. But there are a lot of blues on the place. At 11:00 AM 11/21/2005, you wrote:

>>Yes, I have been out the first two days on a private ranch over in the Capitan Mts.. We had a lot of birds. The country was really rough and there were a few rattle snakes out. We killed two. We moved 7 coveys on Tuesday and 9 on Wednesday. They held very good for early in the season and I think the reason was; there was a lot of great cover. But, things are drying up quickly over there and the fields were very dry and dusty.<<

Wow! Where are you hunting? We have been hunting north central South Dakota for years with English Setters. Have only had one serious injury, and that was barbed wire related, in all that time. We have had a couple of minor incidents such as scratched eyes or the like, but which resulted in a short visit to the vet and one day's loss in the field. We've never spent less than 10 consecutive hunting days up there - closer to 20 this year.
If it's not terrain related, sounds like you need to tranquilize the dog! Maybe put boots on him to slow him down?

My yellow lab came into heat and was placed by pre-arrangement to immediately run with a choc lab stud for 12 days. Yes, I have all papers for both dogs, and buyers (including both dog owners).
The question now, Is she pregnant? Assumming conception on the mid-point day of her assignation: October, 27 I would expect the litter around the last week of December and she would be 3 weeks into pregoness by now. She is eating well, adding girth to her belly, not her groin. Nips are still dry and normal (she has whelped before).
Is she pregnant? Or how and when can I tell? Thanks.

I used to hunt with two brothers who both had choc labs. One hated coots; one loved to chase them for fun (training issue).
One opening day, the only thing that flew by the three of us was coot on the wing. I shot it over our decoys and it was Buster's turn to fetch. He picked it up, brouth it to the edge of the water, dropped it in the mud and gave me a dirty look before returning to his master, who said Good Dog.
Last weekend I was in the field for the first time this year and it was slow. My dog does not have a lot of blind experience (which is why we were there, alone, with all adjacent blinds empty. SHe would not get into the pit blind. She stayed leashed to the ground/blind partly covered by blind material. She whimpered and whined more than I like at the grebes and coots which swan quite close.
Before calling it quits for the morning a large coot came particularly close and expired via lethal steel injection from a 12 guage benelli 3 1/2" needle camoflagogued in the brush.
Of course I sent my dog. She picked it up and brought to the blind area, dropped it looked at it with an unpleasant expression, sniffed at it and walked to me without it. She did pick it up and bring it to my hand.
So do coots really stink to dogs as well as to human handlers?
I told Fish and Game what I had done when I checked out. First time they did not ask to see the carcass.
