Nice!
Dove and quail is the go to around here.Never got into turkey hunting. Had no turkeys to hunt when I first got into woodchuck hunting.
Ironically, now we have a lot of turkeys and no woodchucks….
Dove and quail require a lot of attention. I think both are pretty fast?Dove and quail is the go to around here.
This grouse had the misfortune of walking underneath my tree stand in search of beech nuts, and ended up being that evening’s meal.Dove and quail require a lot of attention. I think both are pretty fast?
Ruffed grouse and Ring-necked Pheasants were common here for many decades. Guys used to breed some high-end pointers and setters.
Grouse are very quick; pheasants not so much.

The dove can be, especially if it's a bit windy, best to hunt over planted and manipulated fields. The quail are a little bit easier if you have a trained bird dog to flush. I have a few covey, but I limit a few birds out of each covey. I would love to have a lot more quail, but that would require getting rid of the cows...Dove and quail require a lot of attention.
