Riley’s First Thing Covey w/ Bonus Bob Camera | Oklahoma Quail Hunting



On December 2, 2025 I hunted with Bob and his dogs. His oldest, Riley, found this big covey of wild bobwhite bobwhite first thing out of the truck. While looking for a downed bird Riley found a few of the singles from the initial flush and watched in disgust as Bob and I both missed our second chance birds.

Ellie’s Sumac Covey | Oklahoma Quail Hunting



On opening day in November 2021 Ellie Mae found this nice covey of bobwhites in a patch of sumac after a rough day of hunting. This is the first bobwhite I took with my 28 ga. Beretta. Both the sumac and the sandhill plums were in full color that day shading the prairie in yellow, orange and red.

Jethro’s Mountain Man Covey | Oklahoma Quail Hunting



Mike’s pointer Jethro found this nice covey of wild bobwhite in February, 2022. Of the eleven coveys the dogs found that day we were really only able to shoot into four of them because the birds were so wild, as they had been all season. This covey flush was the best we had all day and I’m glad I was able to capture it despite my poor shooting. It’s hard to be to upset though when even Jeremiah Johnson missed also (Mike too).

Floating Feathers Covey | Oklahoma Quail Hunting



Dot found this large late season covey of bobwhite up on top of hill on my dad’s ranch in the Oklahoma Panhandle in January 2020. I took two on the rise and you can see the feathers from the first drifting past me as I shoot the second. Fun dog work from a promising young dog and not bad shooting either!

Lily’s Windswept Covey | Oklahoma Quail Hunting



On a blustery late January day in 2025 Lily surprised me with a close point on top of a windswept sandhill. If I had moved on her point immediately the birds likely would have been in the sumac thicket in front of her but by the time I got the other hunters around to the point they had moved downhill and away from she and I. Nevertheless it was a nice find. Enjoy.

Kent’s Katy’s Covey | Oklahoma Quail Hunting



On a gorgeous sunny January afternoon in 2022 Kent’s pointer Katy found this nice covey of wild, public land bobwhite. My Dot got an assist sliding in late with an unmotivated honor. This dog, and her owner, travelled from North Carolina for an opportunity to see this exact scenario. Kent should be proud!

Dot & Ginger’s Tree Row Covey | Oklahoma Quail Hunting



Opening day ’24 my little Dottie and Ben’s Ginger found this big covey in the trees. Lydia and I both could see birds on the ground before the chaotic flush. If you watch center screen you can see a hen facing me in the grass. What a great way to start the season.

Lily’s First Covey | Oklahoma Quail Hunting



What a great way to introduce my new pointer, Lily! While I know this isn’t her first experience with bobwhite bobwhite it was her first covey find for me. It couldn’t have been a better find, point, flush and shot. I don’t normally see such large coveys and that makes this video that much more fun. Hopefully there will be a lot more of these this fall.
