Good deal, stay healthy. We need a little more balance here. Too many
citiots.

I know a few guys here with the same type of thing (this is Florida,
you don't have to look far for some with just about any malady)
The rehab for the heart thing seems to be exercise and diet. Maybe you
should do more "walking around" hunting and less of that "sit up

Quail are lower in cholesterol than squirrels anyway. ;-)

Get up, move around as soon as you can and get better, we need you.

Quail and woodcock are just more challenging to hit, particularly if
you are too poor for a bird dog. It might be a long walk between
birds.

Oh boy.. Tim. I'll certainly be offering prayers for your speedy and complete recovery. You are like an oasis in the bleak barren desert that this group has become. We do need your positive contributions.
A couple of months ago I brought this subject to my doctor. I complained that we didn't have an easily accessible diagnostic program to check us for potential problems like clogged arteries. His response was to change my lifestyle now to head off problems.
Best of luck to you over the next few months.

I was talking to a farmer down in southern Virginia a few weeks ago. He had some bird
dogs, and we just got to talking about hunting. He said the quail are just about gone
due to the coyotes. He said the same about the deer. The coyotes eat the eggs and
young quail and the young deer. Hell, he was worried a pack of coyotes might get one
of his dogs out wandering by itself.

We used to hunt quail out Rt 50, a few miles outside Fairfax. Now it's just one big
shopping center or townhouse development almost to Winchester. Got quite a few quail
- back in early 70's.

I hunted quail all over Maryland but the best spot was a friend's farm
on the Eastern Shore. I only hunted over dogs once and although it was
very efficient, Over dogs, it is like shooting skeet. I was shooting
skeet at the time and I was thinking it was too easy.
I like walking them down better.
Part of it is the challenge.

Never did it with dogs. My pointer would probably love it though.

That might be fun for the dog but a real bird dog takes a lot of
training. The pair we were hunting over could herd up a covey and hold
them until you called the flush, then they charged the birds and
flushed them away in a "station 7 low house" configuration. Shooting
them seemed too easy to me. I limited out in less than an hour.

Walking them down is a lot more like hunting. You are never sure when
they will flush or which way they will go.

The most challenging is woodcock in heavy cover.

No, my dog's not trained. When I first got her, she'd 'point' robins and hold it
until I said "OK". Now she's gotten used to the birds and shows no interest. She'd
point just like in the pictures, with one paw raised and dead still.

Never hunted woodcock. Wouldn't know what one looked like. Pheasants, pigeons, and
quail is about it as far as birds go. Oh, and crows as a kid. Never shot one. They
seemed to know what a rifle looks like and would stay about a half mile away.

Woodcock is like a quail with a long beak. They live back in the
woods. The first one I kicked surprised the hell out of me but I gave
him a load of #5s anyway. I was expecting a rabbit.
The owner didn't even know they were there.

Back in the olden days we used to shoot crows at the dump (not a real
land fill, just an old country dump) but we made blinds so they would
get close enough. We were still taking shots at 50 yards or more.
My old Remington .22 pump with a 6x Weaver was pretty reliable out to
100 yards.
