Yep plenty of berries. We've been mostly working adjacent to water which has produced some decent covey's as well.

Its been awhile since Ive posted anything but I thought I would share a few pics of the pup and I on our last few quail hunts. We're mostly duck hunters but the duck hunting has been so terrible lately and the local quail numbers have been up, so we've been re learning the upland game lately...

Thanks for that link ditchparrot, that made my day.

I got my springer from California Springers out of Bethel Island. They breed for hunting and hunt their dogs. My pup has turned out great, couldnt be happier with him.
