Documentation of a Shooting Funk

Here's a short video of Ike pointing a single after he had found the covey and we have some other singles work, some photographed below. I was in a bad funk, wasn't thinking clearly, couldn't pick out a bird, all bad mojo. I recovered before it got really bad. I was shooting IC/Mod, and usually #9's in the first and #7.5's in the second for quail. I've since switched to Skeet/IC and standardized on #7's most of the time. Have had great success since making the switch.

Pictures from a Quail Hunt

Ike...

Ike again...

Dottie backing Ike...

Close-up of Ike, I could actually see quail running in the brush.

Finally back home...

Ten minutes into the hunt, Sage finds birds...

A friend's lapdog that accompanied the hunt. While she may not look like much, she did locate a dead quail that eluded the two other dogs on the ground.

Can you spot Ike on point?

Here he is again...

And again...he has just been pure murder on birds this season.
