This morning, my dog and I decided to test our luck on quail. We found an area with a ton of birds. Unfortunately, there was a ton of brush too.
At first they flushed pretty easily. Then they started to dig themselves into brush piles. My dog would get on one side and I was beating at the brush with a stick on the other side. If they flushed, they would fly low right over my dog's head. It was too risky to attempt a shot.
Anyone here have a secret on how to flush dug-in quail? My dog is near fifty pounds, she can't fit well into the brush.
Maybe a Chihuahua would be the answer!
