Quail season is coming around and for the past two years they've eluded me.
I was out near my mom's rabbit hunting and I'm hearing a lot of them. I'm also seeing a bunch run along the ground and could have definitely tagged a few. Did anyone want to team up later this year to try and flush these guys out? I have found them along a specific stretch near my moms place but am going to try and scout them a bit more to see if I can find more.
I'd be happy to take someone to this spot and maybe we can do some tradesies and you show me some other habitat that they live in?
Here's a little pic I was able to get from maybe 30ish feet away.
One day! If I get accepted at ASU for my bachelor's program, I'll get a doggo in 2022. I've been waiting a long, long time.
Having said that, if anyone wants to team up for some sneaky boiz, message me! And if anyone wants some company wherever they go for them, I'm down. I'd love to learn about different areas to hunt.
I've seen a good bunch by my moms but I'll be doing more recon out there trying to find the sweet spots.
I don't want to hijack the thread. The offer to go on a hunt is a legit one @Nathan McDonald Maybe the Camp Kahuna @Steve could set something up down his way. I hear he's going to be running a broke dog soon!
I've never had quail man! I have only been hunting for the past two years and I haven't been able to nab me any quail. I can't wait to try it though.. I look at all those tasty recipes... I can't wait.
Oh damn quail is some good eating. I have a couple coveys running around with the cottontails on my acreage. The lady won’t let me shoot them, enjoy watching them run around. Truth be told, so do I. Bearfoot should be here in about an hour, I think I will take a few dove this evening and in the am. They just poop on everything lol.
Quails good stuff. I’d be in for a hunt as well and would love an opportunity to take my pup out as well. Keep in touch with buster he knows his stuff.
spatching is a pain but worth it! i usually use just SPG on mine and don't let them dry out! got a place down here that was teeming with quail, i'm sure a lot of hunters down here know about it, but it will still be fun!
Really looking forward to getting out this season and trying some new locations.
Nothing says FREEDOM more than walking through the Desert with your shotgun chasing after quail. It's awesome!
I'm definitely going to have to do some more scouting around that area. I'm just excited that I might have an opportunity to get a quail... I wonder if anyone stole my camera watching their wash yet lmao.
Anyone who wants to go just pm me and I'll happily go. Your spot or my spot. I'd also be down for scouting new locations if anyone has suggestions or just wants to wing it. I don't mind marching around the desert looking for sneaki bois.
I'm sure the gf will want to go as well. I've been thinking of getting her a 20ga. Stoeger. Hopefully no one minds.
You boys measuring inches or talking quail JK Word on the street is there are good numbers of young of the year that are plenty ripe for the slaughter! What's your strategy? Running and gunning? How do you break the covey up?
Every covey I saw scouting for dove have numerous young of the year. We have a family of 7 here in the RV park. Mom, pop and 5 full size young un's.
Nathan when you're ready for mudders check out the Mud Claw tires by Cooper. I've got a set on my F-150 and I love em. Reasonably priced and with a tread pattern that can shed itself of the stickiest gumbo mountain mud they can handle anything the desert can throw at them.
Ok I'm going to check those out, thank you! How do they hold up on the streets? My jeep is of course my daily driver so I'm also looking for something that holds up over time. I didn't buy my jeep for gas mileage and already killed the mpg with the lift.
I'm going to go see if I can't walk through some washes and find more of the quail where I normally hunt. They sure do seem more plentiful this year. And as sneaky as ever.
My F-150 is also a daily driver both on and off road and they've held up great so far. A little noisy on pavement but that's just my reminder that they've got the teeth to take on anything off road.
I put some Mastercraft (Cooper?) Courser CXT tires on my Jeep at the start of the year. It’s considered some kind of hybrid tire, not a true mudder but definitely more hardcore and aggressive than the A/T KO2s that were on my Jeep. I’ve been happy with them so far and it’s my DD.
