I am an average schmo from Minnesota who is wondering if its worth the drive to Indiana to hunt wild quail. Back in the late 80s had a chance to hunt it, a friend who grew up in Indiana but was working in MN had the chance to take over the family farm. He got bored and planned to move back to MN. He did, however, groom parts of the farm for quail and it was a fun hunt. I believe the farm was in the Columbus area? Cummins diesel plant in the area?
And then, my gosh his wife cooked up the quail squirrel and cottontails we shot. The quail are the best eating game bird I've ever had.
So is it worth it, is it possible to hunt private lands, and of course I don't really have a clue what to look for as far as habitat. I mostly hunt the prairie for pheasants now although did a lot of ruffed grouse hunting over the years.
Thanks
Dan
