This is in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Our numbers are nowhere near what yalls are but can still find a couple coveys if you're willing to walk. I find it much more enjoyable than release birds.

I'm not so sure we have more birds here, but I absolutely agree that a hard-earned Bob is a real gift...and so much better than a released bird.

Believe it or not but there are a lot of wild quail in Florida.South central right in the middle of the state.There's probably 4 or 5 coveys on one ranch I have right now.I've had several ranches over the years that actually had huntable numbers.What's called the prairie region has a lot of birds but its mostly private land.There are more than a few public areas that hold birds but walking will be required.There are also released mang. areas also.

Reggie, I shot a 26" Browning Superposed 20 ga. IC/Mod for the quail and a Remington 870 12 ga. 30" for the ducks.

It is looking to be a good year down this way. 7 coveys moved in really bad rain/weather. Healthy coveys of 20+ birds was good to see.

Cant beat wild birds.
