Dot’s Blues Again! | Oklahoma Quail Hunting
Mother Nature has favored us with an increase in the scaled bobwhite population on the some of the ranches I hunt each year. I love it because blues are my favorite bobwhite species. Dot has really been lucky finding these coveys all season. This covey from 1/20/24 had flushed wild and Dot was working through the tight holding singles when she found this pair. Fun stuff!

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

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.

Dot’s Woodpile Covey | Oklahoma Quail Hunting
Dot found this covey of public land birds near a big stack of wood where they are doing some brush mitigation work. Her health has dramatically decreased her stamina and energy. She gets short walks exclusively now. I’m thankful she’s still able to hunt and she certainly finds her share of birds.
