Early December Hunts

We’ve been hunting quail and enjoying many new and old guests nonstop here at Davis Quail Hunts!

Our friend, John Marsh brought his uncle Albert and they had a wonderful day. John was among the quail hunters photographed for this website and our brochure. We were thrilled to have him here again along with his uncle.

We also had a wonderful time with guest, Charles Morris and his friends who hunted at DQH for a couple of days.

A fun time hunting was had by all. With Colvin are “Charlie” the cocker spaniel and our newest member of the team “Freckles”.

Here is the Lodge that our guests call home during their stay at DQH. Come join us soon!

DQH welcomes Fin and Rita!

Grouse dogs, Fin (Pal O’ Mine) and Rita (Hard Driving Rita) arrived safely at Davis Quail Hunts late this afternoon. Our field trial friend, Joe McCarl, delivered them to the airport in Pittsburgh, PA this morning and Colvin and Sherman picked them up in Montgomery after some flight delays in Atlanta. Both dogs have spent several winters being trained and hunted in Texas on wild Bobwhites and compete on the grouse dog circuit with Joe and their owner, our friend, Chris Mathan. Fin is a half sister to Libby, who many of our guests have shot quail over and Rita is a daughter of Joe’s seven time grouse champion “Hard Driving Bev”. We invite you to come and enjoy shooting over the newest members of the DQH bird dog team!

November Quail Hunting at DQH!

We’re in full swing here at Davis Quail Hunts and we’re having a great fall quail season. Our pre-release program is proving most successful. We had some new guests including Mark and Robert who saw us in the Gun & Garden story! They had a fabulous time gunning over Pete, Libby and Rick!

Heading North to Broomhill!

We arrived safely at our summer training camp a few days ago. Before we left, our friend Aaron Lisech came by and brought his nephew, Daniel Haase. Daniel spent some time hunting at Davis Quail Hunts and was so taken with the dogs that he asked if he could come up to Canada and learn about training bird dogs. There’s no better opportunity for doing that than on the prairies and we are glad to have Daniel here with us. ‘Course he’ll be getting up at the crack of dawn and tired at the end of the day…that’s the life of a dog trainer! 🙂 Watch for reports throughout the coming weeks.
