As we were recording these final im- 
pressions Jackson glared up angrily 
into the sky. 
“Just as we’ve got to quit these birds 
come back again,” he cried wrathfully. 
“Never mind, I’ll have some of you to- 
morrow,” and he looked down with 
something like contempt upon what 
Tash and myself considered was an 
exceptionally good bag. 
A Blue Quail Hunt in 
New Mexico 
(Continued from page 733) 
bagging of a few birds always whet our 
desire for more? We crossed over to 
the westerly range of hills, a distance 
of about a mile, and carried the war 
into new territory. This new ground 
was more extensive than that which 
we first hunted, but it didn’t seem to 
contain any greater number of birds. 
We had plenty of time to meditate on 
the hardships of blue-quail hunting be- 
fore turning up another covey. How- 
ever, our steady beating of the hills 
and draws was eventually rewarded by 
a fine covey of birds which did their 
best to give us a high grade of enter- 
tainment. In this they succeeded and 
the few birds added to the slowly fill- 
ing bag were well earned. A further 
expenditure of shoe leather and energy 
gained us a chance at a fresh covey 
from which we got a few more birds. 
During the day we had had astonish- 
ingly poor luck in finding singles after 
scattering a covey. In each case the 
wily birds seemed to hot-foot it away |- 
clear out of the country. 
IME had been flying and the after- 
noon was well advanced when we 
finally stopped to take stock of our sit- 
uation. So far we had covered, at a 
conservative estimate, about twelve 
miles of hard going over the rough 
country, and each of us had fourteen 
birds to show for our efforts. This 
was a fair result and we were satis- 
fied, in fact we had to be as it was 
time to think about catching the after- 
noon train home. We found ourselves 
about five miles north of the flag sta- 
tion at which we were to take the 
train, and a glance at our watches 
showed us that we would have to do 
some steady hiking to make it. 
We struck south, following the open 
country near the railroad as the go- 
ing was easier and there was a possi- 
bility of walking up a bird or two 
which we had driven from the hills as 
we hunted northward. As I trudged 
steadily along I soon noticed, at a short 
distance ahead, a bare, sandy patch of 
ground some fifty feet in diameter in 
the center of which sat what looked re- 
markakly like a quail. I dismissed the 
idea as foolish, as no quail would re-
