Maybe saying it has to be is a little strong but the breeder follows the french naming convention. Litters born in 2021 start with the letter S. Of course I could call the dog whatever I wanted but it's no big deal to follow the convention. It can be helpful to follow the convention, for...
Usually hunting time is to scarce to not be out there trying when you have the chance. Most get one, two , maybe three weeks a year for big trips. I’ve sat out a few hours from hunting from nasty thunderstorms, I actually thought I was going to get struck by lightning and sometimes it’s snowing...

Howdy everyone,
Shane here from Northern California. Currently living in Humboldt County, from Shasta County (south of Mt. Shasta a bit). Most my life I've always hunted California (B zones specifically). I consider myself quite lethal when it comes to mountain quail hunting. I am a big game...
