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.
