dropped to tbe crouch that means their 
nostrils have struck quail scent. We ran 
up on the double. A long period of 
ro&ding followed, for these quail had done 
feeding long ago and were dozing some- 
where in the thicket. Then — out of no- 
where, up jumped a single and lit out 
for a clump of catbriers. Herman 
blazed away and missed, and then Stick 
and I let go as one gun, — and there 
hung the bird, — what was left of him. — 
pinned neatly to a catbrier thorn! Just 
why a bunch of rabbit-gobbling gunners 
consider this an occasion for elaborate 
laughter is not perceivable, but we yelled 
with Berseker hilarity — a double wipe 
for poor Herman’s eye! And, just then, 
the covey took a hand and jumped up in 
a whizzing bunch — and Jeff’s gun was the 
only one that said anything! 
Herman set out after them, hotfoot, 
determined to achieve a double by way of 
revenge. Stick and I went after a couple 
of singles which had soared across the 
field, finding Jim staunch on one, which 
w'e nailed. Meanwhile Herman’s gun 
boomed, and after considerable time he 
and Jeff rejoined us, and “dar wuz quail,” 
in his bulgy pockets. But, if we were 
to eat that night, the Scourge felt it his 
duty to produce the needful rabbit, so 
he set out for camp, where Field was, 
no doubt, yelping out his soul, in 
durance vile in the pumphouse. 
I T was now well on towards mid-after- 
noon, so we got the cameras to work 
recording the events of this shoot. Mike 
had a bad attack of modesty about this 
time — in fact, did you ever know a dog 
to pose v/hen you wanted him to? The 
white streak is Jim, who wanted that 
quail more than he did any picture of 
himself, however beautiful! 
Half a mile further on we got into 
another field with a bevy in it. Jim 
stood in a beautiful setter point, frozen 
solid, his eye glaring, his nostrils 
quivering. It was a hot scent, and there 
was some class to Jim, so I risked a 
picture. The birds were good; in fact, 
they didn’t get up then, or any other 
time! Such is quail shooting! Instead, 
out popped a bunny rab, and we keeled 
him over amid shouts of laughter. We 
had one on the Scourge, no matter what 
befell. 
But Jim-dog wasn’t satisfied. There 
1 n'd been birds hei'e. somewhere, some- 
time, and he was going to see about it! 
Over in some pines he ducked again, and 
the Bearded Lady went over for a look- 
see. Presently the welcome cry, “Here 
they are!” brought the rest up on the 
run, and we edged up on them, guns at 
ready. It was a small bevy; about ten, 
but we took four birds out of it. 
Circling through more fields and 
patches of woodlot, we finally arrived at 
the old chicken field near camp. As 
the dogs showed no signs of game, the 
Bearded Lady pushed on into the pines, 
in the hope that they might be in there. 
Stick and Jeff remained outside. Five 
minutes later there was a spank of guns, 
and pellets of lead rained all about me 
cn the leaves. Then came the birds, 
whirring through the Avoods on every 
side. One threw up his wings and started 
<0 light in a low bush. I planted tha
