Well, let me explain.
A year ago I was headed towards my in-laws at Thanksgiving. A few days before I left I decided to look at the Gazetter to look for some possible hunting grounds. They live just over the Idaho border at the south end of Lake Coer-d-Alene. My map showed a few spots just south of Fairfield that might work but I wasn't certain of the type of cover. So I turned to Terraserver and zeroed in on the knoll that I wanted to hunt. At maximum zoom I switched to satellite view and could easily tell the knoll was heavily forested, Great!
That first year only yielded a flush of two very fast birds. No shots.
Last weekend I went over for a visit and ducked out for a few hours. I headed for that same knoll and hit the same covert. I flushed two again and the second one didn't get away.
So, find the covert and you'll likely find the birds...:thumb:
Swing fast and you may just bag one...:thumb:
