In anticipation of an upcoming hunt that I am super pumped about, today’s throwback thursday is from a quail hunt in 2011 in Denmark, SC. Which happens to be near Norway, SC. I kid you not. But both are close to Bamberg, in case you needed a point of reference. SO! Back to the quail hunt. We are fortunate enough to be going to the same place in a few short weeks, and I have found myself looking back through the photos and videos of the first hunt, getting more and more excited as the weekend nears. 

We started the morning out bright and early in a buggy drawn by two huge mules named Adam and Steve.. (I think. Maybe giant donkeys? Or thick-coated horses?) Then it was off to the various locations of the quail throughout the property, where we would hop of out the buggy, grab/load our guns, and let the bird dogs get to pointing. Once the covey was flushed, we took our shots. And man, can those things scoot. Sporty shooting is always a lot of fun.

The cutest outhouse ever.

After lunch, and once the bird dogs were loaded up, we went back out for round 2- this time in an awesome old jeep with bench seats built up on it. {Side note- pretty sure I need one of those jeeps… hint hint…} Canvasing the second half of the property, we went to chasing down the quail again and taking our shots.

 Quite a successful hunt, I must say! It was such a beautiful day, and I really was sad when it was over. Can’t wait for round 2 in a few weeks!
