Local bobwhite quail
Chippintuff:
I grew up hearing and seeing them all the time, but it has been close to 20 years since I have seen one, and that time was the first in several years. People tell me that the fire ants are wiping out everything that nests on the ground. It's too bad the fire ants can't stop the hogs.

They are a pretty innocent & shy occupant of this area.Fun to see.Lot of things out there to get them that's for sure.I think maybe because of the diverse enviornment here they are able to maintain.Out in the country here neighbors and me kind of keep a tab on these little fellas.
Bill.....You'll have to start naming them type bows....lol.Have you seen Gun Docs' bow in the build-a-long thread with a pheasant feather backing?Think he just used tru oil to cover them all if I'm not mistaken.

Yes Ed, I saw it in person at the Classic a few years ago. Josh did a very good job on that one. Along with the breast feathers he used some pheasant tail feathers if I remember correctly. To keep that under glass look and the finish as thin as possible, you do not want to use much of the quill of the feather. I use the very end/tip of the feather to keep the finish thin. I have some pheasant feathers too and have thought about using all three birds (turkey, quail & pheasant) on one bow. Maybe call it the "Upland" Bow :) ;)

Those are some beauties! All the grouse and quail disappeared from around here many moons ago.
