    Meat handling while traveling

    I leave them whole. Age them in my "garage " fridge for 7-10 days. If they are shot hard -I'll gut them or break them down before i head home. I feel it does give them a little more flavor(wild pheasant are pretty mild to begin with) It definitely tenderizes them too.

    What is a good quail hunt?

    Sounds like you had a great hunt! 5 big covies will keep a young dog busy for a while. This is a subjective topic- gonna get all kinds of numbers. For me, here in Texas- 10 covies is good day. 5 in the morning, 5 in the evening with lunch and a nap during midday🤣🤣! Our holy grail is 20 plus/...
