Thread: Game bird diary for all

Last day
Collected Harry and off we went on a round trip of 103k for absolutely nothing!! Adult dog did some really good work but to no avail. I had not been to The Place for a number of years and had been extolling its virtues to Harry on just how good the quail numbers were, or at least were. We arrived to the sound of family banter, vehicles, house dogs etc...so headed up the tributary for a look...dog covered alot of ground with no scents taking his fancy. So we went back to the ute and headed off the way we came and had a look at the river...again the dog did not find any scent of interest although Harry was rapt as I found and gave to him a duck call someone had dropped. Back home for a very late lunch and plans hatched for an afternoon wander.



This time we took the bitch and walked and walked and walked along the stream...the dog did not get onto any strong scents except in an open area she winded a rabbit and Harry took it home. We heard a covey of quail, and another hatching of Mallard with their mother. Although no result we had another great day with me promising Harry I will not be breaking my foot next year!!
