No sir. I was hunting along Hwy 20 for two partial days though. I was in a grey Nissan Titan. I tried for some mountain quail on my way east from Portland. I saw 6 or so of the wily little guys but they are pretty spooky. They started running when I got within 100 yards and flew when I got...

Good luck, I am headed to Portland to visit some family and then hunt my way back to eastern Oregon. I am hoping to find a Mountain quail or two. They are on my bucket list. Let me know if you need any directions.

Good luck. If you have a little extra time, check out the Weiser area, especially the draws along the Snake River and Brownlee Reservoir. Lots of quail and chukar. Most importantly, it is all public land.

I have never seen a survey on Huns in Oregon. Odd, because every now and then, I run into a few. Not many, but a few.

I'll be in the area the 25th. If you need some with some birdy locations let me know.

Being a westerner for my entire life, I can only provide that perspective. Big game hunting has changed from what it was when I was 12 (my first year hunting big game) to now 40 plus years later. Back then, hunting big game was strictly for the meat. We hunted a lot of doe deer and cow elk...

Wow, all great advice. All that I can add is that when I started hunting I struggled and my Dad, who was a solid shooter, gave me two tips. 1. Pheasants are very slow birds so, when hunting over a dog, let the bird have at least a 3 count before you pull the trigger. 2. Always swing through...

Good luck Wind River. I am headed to Eastern Oregon in two weeks and I can't wait!!

As hunting season has arrived, I find myself amazed that after 40 plus years of hunting and fishing pretty much anything that swims, flies or runs, I still get amped up like a kid on Christmas Eve!!! I still have trouble sleeping the night before a hunting or fishing trip!! I still spend...

I am reloading enough shells to get me through another year and hoping that reloading components are more available than in past years.

They are California. Perhaps one person's California quail is another's Valley quail though.

Malheur County is the place. There are quail along the Owyhee River along the canyon (BLM land) all the way up to Owhyee Reservoir. There are also Chukar up on the slopes of rocky cheatgrass along the canyon as well. Additionally, there are a lot of quail along the Malheur River between...

The much awaited upland gamebird surveys for Oregon are out. As expected. The hunting for pheasants will be better than last year, although not many adult pheasants to work with from last year their chick production and survival are amazing. So we should see a lot of young pheasants this year...

I've been loading shells, cleaning guns, sharpening knifes and talking to landowners. It has been over 90 for as long as I can remember here so I am playing racquetball inside just to keep the lungs and legs working. Other than that, I have been reliving last year in my mind. Lots of great...

I rand across these two videos that are pretty entertaining to watch. These folks are hunting 15-20 miles from where I hunt. If you ever get a chance, try this one time in your life. It's a ton of fun.......bring lots of shells. It will turn an inexperienced dog into a professional quickly.

Have you tried in the Portales, Clovis area? There used to be a good number of blues and bobwhites there and I’ve been thinking about making a trip back there to relive my glory days.

One time I went hunting in Broadwater Nebraska on a friends farm. He just purchased a new truck, which we took hunting that day. He had "ordered" a herd of goats that specialized in eating wild hemp and thistles. They showed up as we were getting out of the truck to hunt. To save the guys...

You are right Birddude, I will regret it. I’ve had several plans to go get it done. I even have a couple of likely spots picked out. I just need life to provide a little spare time to get it done.

I will try to do better.

No, I use a skeet or improved in the cattails and russian olives (quail and pheasants)and then a modified or full in the sage and rocks for quail and chukar) I started using the modified and full because I was knocking chukar down and they weren't quite dead so they would run into rock rubble...
