I have only hunted Quail for one season back in late 1990's when I was living in Sacramento Ca. I would drive down 8-10 hrs or so for a 2 day weekend hunt at Fort Hunter Ligget a little bit below King City. Passes were issued to hunters in small numbers, each to a specific training area that was not being used for troop training that weekend.
. My first covey flush with Gambrel Scaled was around a hundred birds. Not an exaggeration by any means. And we kept bumping 20 to 30 bird groups as we walked along. All day, each day. And I mostly missed .
No dog, just myself and my buddy. Didn't realize what kind of day had been given to us till much later in life as I hunted more and more in different states. Only got a few birds between us that season. Prob my most fun and least productive hunting venture of mine.
