Had a chance to go out last week to hunt mountain quail in the sierra's nevada mountains at about 3500ft. to 4000ft. elevation, with a little snow on ground in places.
Arrived late at my favorite quail spot, hoping they were in the area late mourning. Started calling on top of ridge and heard a call back about 100yrds down steep canyon, so it was on!!
Started down ridge and got to about 100yrds and one flew out of range. Went a little further down one flushed and I droped him with the 28ga. 1 ounce of 7.5 shot, went to get him and another bolted off like a jet fighter....bam, number 2 down, went to get him and one was running through the buck brush...bam, sluiced em ...all in about 4 minuites!!!
Hunted till close time, flushed a few more but no go. All in all it was a fun day in the sierra's chasing mountain quail...
THESE PICS WERE FROM ANOTHER HUNT
