S.C. Wildlife magazine

By Joey Frazier    Joey is editor of SC Wildlife magazine    He took about 50 pictures for this article. He did shoot some birds when he came for a second hunt.

David was kind enough to invite me for a hunt at his place near Tuberville, South Carolina. It is a beautiful, authentic property made for Southern style quail hunting; just like the places you read about in the old stories from penned by Havilah Babcock or Nash Buckingham. The birds fly hard and the dogs are excellent, especially Bo. I have a soft spot for setters. I know you will enjoy the company and the experience.
