Have done a few days beating on a preserve this year for the first time and got to come back for one of the beaters shoots. This was the walking day and was a great end to the season. I got four roosters with @hillclima getting 7 and a partridge. Great fun with so many birds round, must be what it's like up north with your 5 bird limits!
Dix and I went for a walk...he flushed a sizeable covey of Californians, the vegetation too thick to put any lead along the barrel, then he put up a single bird...I followed through with the right pipe knowing for certain that the bird would have landed on what would have resulted in a non retrieve...a huge blackberry sprawl the size of a house...would rather let him fly and hopefully make bébés than let him be eaten by rats...so The Young Turk has not been blooded yet...there is this afternoon...
Dix on the Californian scent...

I've been staying away form the forum for a while (purposely abstaining coz I end up forum-ing at work more than I should) hahaha.
To make up for the loss thought I'd chuck up the only two pics from this 2015 season... that's how often I was out and about anyways....
Few of you have already seen them on my FB...
