I am almost in tears. My Brit was with me hunting from '85-'98, and save the last couple years, she hunted with this energy. The ranging long and rabbitt chasing are part of the experience, goes with the nose, energy, and playfulness of the breed. Brought back great memories. THANKS!
Eventually she’ll learn that we aren’t after them just like the tweety birds and stop on her own. She’s got a soft temperament and I’m already having issues with her ranging. So it’s in my best interest to leave her alone unless she’s in danger.
Great video, awesome job by your dogs. I hunt in SoCal and we have noticed a HUGE improvement with using 6's and even 5's with IC for doves and quail. I was not happy at all with 7.5's in 2019 when the lead ban came down. You seem to be doing well with them though. We just lay down boot tracks and bump brush without dogs so we kinda need them dead when they hit the ground.
If you want a lot of birds come to the as we have plenty this year just within a two mile radius of my deer camp there's probably about a thousand quail the area I was in is near a big canyon with springs water table is so high from last winter there's plenty of water.
Sorry Arizona and yes at least a thousand within two miles of my camp not very conducive for dogs due to their propensity to run and sparse cover combined with a lot of rough terrain and stag cholla that can be thick in spots needless to say if one is alive and hides in a cholla no dog can get it. So be careful with your dogs avoid jumping cactus and stag cholla in thick patches. I don't hunt with a dog which makes me more versatile down here.
Yeah the second spot was pretty rocky. Cooper is pretty careful with where he steps and moves slower, but a younger dog like Dizzy could warrant it. If the pads are conditioned for it they should hold up pretty well without.
I shoot a 12 gauge with Federal Upland Steel in 7.5. Improved Cylinder for the first shot and Modified for the second. Although for quail I would prefer something more open than modified.
This time of year they are full of parasites, fleas, etc… I don’t like shooting them with dogs around either. So as far as she’s concerned we don’t want them.

I’m happy to hear that my video brought back those memories for you.
Pro tip that dog should get a correction with the collor for chasing those rabbits to end that behavior

Depends on the dog
A “correction?” You mean make that dog “ride the lightning” with its canine “collar Taser?” 😂.
(I thought the same thing).

@@bmoorear yeah they work for me. I kill pheasants and ducks with them too.
@@NorthwestWingshooters Lol nevermind. I thought this video was in CA and you were using steel 7.5's. Lol yes, lead 7.5's are the jam.
@@bmoorear no I use steel even though it’s not required.
Badass dogs, Give em praise.
Will do thanks!
Chasin’ Quail hat!!!!!
My favorite hat!
Nice work.
Thanks!

AS? A thousand quail?! Sounds like a dream.

Great video. Have your dogs ever bumped into a snake yet? I'm kinda terrified of that happening to mine.
We haven't run into any rattle snakes yet. I also fear the day...
Nice!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you find your brit’s tear up their feet in that terrain, or not enough to warrant booting them?
Yeah the second spot was pretty rocky. Cooper is pretty careful with where he steps and moves slower, but a younger dog like Dizzy could warrant it. If the pads are conditioned for it they should hold up pretty well without.
Good video and good dogs! What size shot shells were you using and what kinds of chokes?
I shoot a 12 gauge with Federal Upland Steel in 7.5. Improved Cylinder for the first shot and Modified for the second. Although for quail I would prefer something more open than modified.
@@NorthwestWingshooters That’s pretty much my go to if just hunting quail too. Nice shooting dude 🙂🥃
Would you use a full choke for quail?
Nothing tighter than improved cylinder. Especially when hunting over pointers.
why don't you eat rabbits?
Not at this time of the year.
