Texas Quail Hunts Success PointersHarris County Quail Hunting Houston TXBo, your English pointer stiffens. He's got a huddled covey on point. You slide in closer, pulse racing anticipating the explosion of fleeing birds you know it gonna happen any second now.
Don't be noisy. You rushing in making noise can bump the birds. Causing the covey to break early. Before you're in place. Yet don't dilly dally. When your dog comes on point, get to where you need to be - pronto. Skittish bobwhites may not hold long. On the other hand once there and nothing happens because the grass, crop debris, or brush is thick, tramp clumps to force a reaction. Don't try to shoot low flying birds. In Texas brush country bobwhites seem to know the low ground cover is their friend. They'll often fly just a few feet off the ground to make for a poor target. Finally whether on Texas quail hunts or elsewhere, expect a staggered rise. Every bird in the covey may not break at once. Being ready for such a thing can help you bag more birds.
