Cimarron this weekend?

[KsHusker]

Looking for some advice from somebody that has targeted scaled quail more than 0 times like myself. Would this be considered suitable habitat or is it lacking key plants such as "sandsage, prickly pear, tree cactus, cholla, skunkbush sumac, fourwing saltbush, wild plum, soapweed, and littleleaf."? Trying to determine if its worth walking habitat like this or if we should target areas with a little more shrub brush type stuff.

Yes Scalies would like that -- I used to bump them from time to time near Garden City when i lived there in early 2000s -- I think they often ran too much on me for me to figure out how to get them up. But I dont have enough experience with them. I could see the tracks in the middle of the sand hills but they likely outran me and the setter I had then -- she liked pheasants better anyways so we normally got more of those up - biggest "trophies" to me were the old birds we could chase down in the middle of a pasture like that.
