    Should throw that nice pic of Aki setting in the young pines that was on FB, show the forumites the sort of country you're talking about?
    You've got too much to wind me up about with my shooting skills...

    A fairly young forest, that has mixture of 3-4 year old pines and some younger ones too ... A good amount of ink weed, black berry & water is present....
    Quail tends to be in more naked forests rubbishy type of fallen trees that doesn't have much green grass (I guess insects are more present there)...
    Pheasants are found anywhere really, more towards the ink-weed fested places, following the sun they tend to keep on the warmer ends of the hills...

    Join the club mate, it becomes embarrassing when it happens over and over again...
    While it gives me joy to land a bird or two, its more that I'd like the dog to get the reward after a job well done. In saying that, it hasn't affected him yet, he still is as keen as he ever was

    Petros_mk, neat write up.


    Never be embarrassed by the genus Coturnix!!! Pick a bird and follow him through; that will get the quail in the stew!!

    The dog will never tire of the scent...however, he'll eventually eat your arms off
