Took Rowdy out for a pheasant/quail/chukar hunt today.  He did very well after busting a hen pheasant.  Never got into another pheasant, although Rowdy got birdy a few times.  Then went to hunt some chukar on a surrounding hillside.  Yielded nothing, although that wasn't the best of chukar spots.  Walked down the butte and got into a draw with some extremely good looking quail cover and started walking a creek.  Got into a pretty good sized covey of quail and ended up shooting 3 quail.  Rowdy retrieved all but two and didn't see the other one fall.  Pictures coming when they get sent to me.   

First quail of the day
