Lupin’s Puppy Covey | Oklahoma Quail Hunting



Ellie Mae found this covey of public land bobwhite on 2/7/22. It was a thing of beauty to watch. She winded where they had been and circled downwind moving into the nice point you see on the video. Lupin, Tom’s young setter, on the other hand did what puppies do and ran pell-mell into the pointed covey. In what has become a disturbing trend for me pulled the trigger on an empty chamber. I MUSTstart loading my gun occasionally! Feel free to laugh at me.

Dot’s Andy Covey | Oklahoma Quail Hunting



My little pointer Dot found this covey on the edge of a sand draw in a pasture we call the “Andy”. She was all contorted around a big sand plum shrub with the birds below her. Only two birds flushed initially with the remainder of the covey (about 10 birds) going out well after the shots. I can tell it’s early season as it took me two shots to knock one down and I was out of breath after the action. I’ll be back after them this weekend and can hopefully get some better footage. #bobwhitehunting #birdhunting #bobwhite_hunting #oklahomahunting

Bailey’s Campground Covey | Oklahoma Quail Hunting



Todd’s Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, Bailey, is the first of the continental breeds to make it to my page this season. She found this covey of public land bobwhites feeding in a sage flat in amongst some stately cottonwoods late in the day on 12/2/24.

Dot’s Cottonwood Covey | Oklahoma Quail Hunting



I normally edit a lot of the approach out of my videos but I left this one entirely intact from when I turned my camera on to when I shut it off. This video shows the entire process as well as any I’ve captured in a long time. Plus, it’s Dot who I love. She’s such a sweetheart and deadly on bobwhite. I hope you enjoy this clip as much as I enjoyed filming it.

Dot’s Stumble Covey | Oklahoma Quail Hunting



Dot has gotten progressively weaker as the season has passed. I have to only take her on really short walks as she has virtually no stamina. Despite her limits she almost always finds birds.

Ellie’s Reserve Covey | Oklahoma Quail Hunting



You don’t see much of her in the clip but my Ellie Mae found these birds in some thick thistles after we had walked past them. She’s an old hand and not much escapes her. The clip is also neat because I wasn’t the only one wearing a camera. Listen to the birds flush in the clip Dave captured. They make quite the racket coming out of the thick brush.

Ellie’s Bomb Covey | Oklahoma Quail Hunting



She’s hard to see through the sumac but that’s my Ellie Mae (Elton John when she’s a rock star like in this video) making the find on a sneaky covey of wild bobwhite hiding alongside a draw wall. I called it the Bomb Covey because when these birds came out of that bush it sounded like a bomb going off! Ellie was joined by Brent’s pointer Maddie and Will’s wirehair Etta and Baer. So many cool dogs so little time.

There’s a bit of NSFW language in the video so beware. I started to edit it out but ultimately decided that the covey flush is, in fact, ****** cool! Will from Tennessee sure seemed to think it was alright.
