Seeking Quail

[BritChaser]

Haven't taken a shot at a quail this season in NW at the Happy Hunting Grounds. Think I'll head south this weekend from Lawrence and see if I can find some on public ground. I'm inspired by some recent fotos in this subforum showing limits on tail gates. I love eating quail.

Hey Mark...can't "Tom The Guide" offer you some direction? Would think he would have a handle on where to go et al.

Maybe he'll see this and message me.

I'll be chasing them too in about 8 hours! Been a tough season for birds again, but the dogs always love a good run. Only a week of season left so we gotta make the most of it!

Quail on the table is definitely a winter highlight!

Not to rain on your parade but this year has been killer for quail for us. On my 2 private spots we have 7 coveys, plus my buddy found 2 on his spot which hasn't had birds in a few years. They are out there, just have to be walking the right kind of cover. We've been hunting NC part of the state though. As for roosters, I haven't seen hardly any this year. But I also haven't been walking much CRP, mostly just hedge rows.

Britchaser did you have any luck this weekend? I went to a spot that had quite a few birds last year and got one small covie pointed. I was disappointed to say the least.

One more saturday left.

I hunted four walk-in spots before the temp got to 60 and I got hungry for that steak I set out to grill. Saw one covey that was out-of-bounds and one single in bounds. Got the single. Very nice day to be out. Thanks!
