Below are images taken during the many Camp activities. We
worked various dogs on recall birds, bobwhites and chukars that
acted like wild birds. We also ran dogs on horseback on the
abundant wild quail population found on the ranch.

Gibbons get ready to flush wild bobwhite quail. This
was Paul's first visit to Camp and his Pointers were unaccustomed
to shinnery and motts. However, his Pointer found this covey
of bobwhite. |

As the sun sets in the west, we head
back towards Camp. In the remaining light, dogs and
horses are barely visible. Paul took advantage of his
telemetry to keep track of his dog.

In the mornings, we oftentime worked
recall birds. Bill flush birds out as he watches a young
Pointer. Oftentimes more than one bird will flush as
they covey up after being released.
