Yeah, the quail get tore up by just about everything that eats eggs - coyotes, hogs, foxes, raccoons, snakes, etc. Really tough for a native population to grow to any good numbers. I'd love to do some grouse or pheasant hunting. Might have to make a trip to th Dakotas or Nebraska some time, a combo pheasant, elk, whitetail trip if possible!
I can't wait to get on some quail in GA this year. They say it's the best hatching in 40 years there. I found this place close to my house.
Quail Creek is top notch! Great skeet/trap shooting too! But very $$$$$. They also have some monster gobblers! I jumped a covery of quail by my cow pens the other day. Maybe we could work something out, the hunt should last about 5 minutes, you can ride my horse around a little before if you want, just to get the full effect. Just kidding! Quail Creek is a nice place, lots of birds and good people.
My sisters husband is a member over there that's how I knew about the place. I shot skeet there before and the place is top notch. The people and the food they prepare are first class. I may take you up on the quail hunt as long as I can ride the horse
a while longer!
I am going to try and get up that way (near Quail Creek) this Saturday and I have a call in to a guy named Travis that's supposed to hook me up at a dove field. I will report later if it's worthwhile.
Welcome to the site. :toast Feel free to head over to the new member area and tell us about yourself.
Looking forward to your report.
I just met with Gary this morning. He is still doing Quail and Pheasant hunts just off of exit 14 on I-4. His land is beautiful, he will start up in Oct. His prices are very reasonable--I would appreciate it if you would mention this forum or my name when you call--I'm trying to get a group discount for us, so when you go, give me a holler and I'll join you and we can split expenses
