Days Gone By: August 2007

The Quail Family Vidricksen

Deb Blodgett sent in these photos of her hunting family, the Vidricksens. "My favorite story was about my dad hunting so many days in a row, he lost track of the date and which day of the month it was. Quail season opens the second Saturday of November and my mother asked my dad if he was going to work tomorrow. He asked why, and she told him he had to do inventory. He had been hunting every day since opening day."

1969 - Before noon, just southeast of Salina, Kansas. Norm Vidricksen, a very avid quail hunter enjoyed many an outing with his Brittany named "Bud," of course.

1970 - Left to right: Hank Vidricksen, Darrell Reding, Bill Little (K.C.), Don Sanborn and Fred Vidricksen. Not pictured: Norm Vidricksen.

If you have story ideas, dog photos, pre-1980 hunting photos and requests for future On The Wing consideration, please send correspondence to ahauck@pheasantsforever.org.
