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!

2 days out and 25 birds later.

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.

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).

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!

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
