This weekend we were invited to Desert Pheasant Recreation to hunt Pheasant, Chucker & Bob White Quail. We had the privilege to be guided by Ken Levy who owns, sells and trains some of the most beautiful and skilled hunting dogs in the state.

Hunting with us were:

Glenn Willis (CEO for Arizona Outdoorsman)

Gary McCraw (Shooting Editor for Arizona Outdoorsman)

Andy Kohly (Shooting Dog Editor for Arizona Outdoorsman)

The November morning was cool and we were ready to get started, Ken’s dogs were raring to go, you could feel the excitement in the air.

The first field we hunted held Chucker and Quail, Ken gave the command to his dogs, they skillfully worked their way left and right covering what seemed like every square inch of the alfalfa field.

Then suddenly as if controlled by radar the first dog swung to the left and honed in on her quarry, we waited in anticipation for the bird to flush.

Without notice the Chucker exploded out of the knee high alfalfa sending that familiar sound into the air that only bird dogs and hunters can get excited about.

Shotguns were whirled around, the closest hunter Glenn Willis took careful aim (don’t want to be the first to miss) and squeezed the trigger, we heard the report of the gun but the Chucker kept flying (“can’t miss the next shot I’ll never hear the end of it”) the next shot cleanly dropped the Chucker. The dogs eagerly fetched up the bird and brought it to Ken.

We hunted until 11:30 then the Arizona sun started to heat things up. The rest of the day was just as exciting as the first bird taken. We brought home some of the most beautiful Pheasant, Chucker & Bob white Quail (Thanksgiving Dinner). Can’t wait to try out Ken’s secret recipe.

The company of friends Glenn, Gary & Andy made for a very enjoyable day.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I didn’t miss a bird the whole day, all captured on film for all of you to see.
