I’ve shot quail a few times in my life, and manage several properties that have thriving populations, yet I’ve never knowingly shot a wild bird until recently. It was one of the funnest hunts I guess I’ve ever experienced. Not only did we get several bobwhites, but scaled quail as well. It was way down in south TX.

They will get ahead of you pretty quick. We had several coveys that flushed very well though.

That sounds like a great trip. I’ve always wanted to go out west to hunt.
It’s a travesty what happened to the Bobwhite Quail across the southeast.
I grew up hunting quail in soybean fields and coveys by the dozens. It was all but gone by my mid teens.
I love to watch my pointers work in a covey of birds. Nothing beats hunting behind some well trained dogs. They are true masters of their craft.

Yeah dogs are fun. We simply located these birds on the roads, would park and go flush them on foot.

I remember as a kid you could bust a covey of quail in N Bama every 300 yards. We had great bird dogs. This was in the seventies. No more row crops or fence lines anymore. Coyotes and more predators.

My grandad trained dogs and he had wild quail. I hav shot the planted birds and its night and day difference. True wild is lightening fast and loud 😀

Sounds like awesome trip!!

Do they crossbreed? Second from left in the bottom pic looks like a mix.

Last day of the season in 1988 we got up 13 coveys and that was the least day we had that year. Those were some of the best days of my life. I haven’t heard a whistle in years. Used to be so many around here I could call them up on my porch in the summer. I think maybe fire ants are hurting them bad.

They’ve been known to hybridize but that bird was a pure male scaled. The males have a lot of chestnut/rusty orange on the lower breast.

Cool
Continue west and get your slam. Heck you might even give up those smelly deer and find something new to chase
