With deer season being a bust so far - only does and small bucks being seen, I decided to kick off the 2013 bird season. Hunted a new farm that had been logged 2 years ago and had some large cut overs adjacent to bean and milo fields. Owner assured me there were several coveys there and my dog Jake proved him right.

Found three coveys ( unheard of these days ) and trailed up a few singles. Did not want to hurt them too bad. The baby Browning and Remington STS #8's proved to be a great combo. Bird pie tonight. Life is good.
