Did a hunt near Encinal last Sunday. Found 19 coveys. Best day this year. Birds were moving even though nothing was different about the weather. No fronts coming in or anything. Saw birds everywhere I went. Wednesday and Thursday went back to the same ranch and found 5 coveys each day. I ran from 7 am till noon each day. The afternoons may have been better but did not stick around due to the heat. Leave today to go to Kingsville to hunt on the King Ranch on Saturday.

South Texas is about average so far this year. Most days are hot and dry. Tough on the dogs. Arizona was great for Mearns Quail. The desert quail were spotty.

My puppies at 5 weeks old. They love dead pigeons. They play with them and fight over them. Hard to get it away from them.

Here is some of my boarding dogs. We have been full all spring. Way busier than I thought it would be. They get a free run 4 times a day.

5 week old Pointer puppies eating one of their first meals. Have more snow coming tonight. Rain all day. Be glad you are not here. Puppies have been running around outside and liking it. Alredy hard to catch them.

Puppies are 3 and 1/2 weeks old. Walking, seeing, hearing. They run to us now when we come in the room. Each alredy has his own unique personality. I've got all sold except 2 of them.

Tonight we had a brief shower with thunder and hail. Every evening we get a shower we get a full rainbow across the valley from our house. Words or photos can't describe it.

Booper ran in to some mean deer and they chased her all the way back to the truck. She was pretty scared. Never saw deer chasing a dog.
