Got skunked all of last year due to the drought and only killed one bird in the 3 times I went out to the cat ranch in Nov/Dec this year.
Went out one last time about a week ago for the end of the season and the stars aligned. Went to my WIHA honey hole about 3 miles away from the cat ranch, it's a weedy draw in the middle of crop fields about half a mile long.
Flushed probably 25 birds walking up originally but the 3 I got were all due to Milo. We were walking into the wind along the draw and then she would get a scent and jump in a 4ft jumble of weeds and a solitary rooster came out each time...
Went back to the same spot the next day and didn't see a single bird
10/10 would recommend
