Well done, John!
We still find wild birds "across the river" from SC, from time to time. I stumble into them often while farming here, and we occasionally get into them while "wood cocking". That backdrop looks so much like home. |

Are you across the river from the bomb plant? We are a little further South, across from Clyo/Sylvania.

That's exactly where I am, John. I live two miles from Stoney Bluff Landing on the Savannah River, and one mile from the Screven Co./Burke co. line, on the Burke side, on Stoney Bluff Rd.

I did just over 12 miles and the dog was at 32 miles when we got back to the truck.

Wild Bobs are trophy birds, indeed. Congratulations on finding them, and on hunting hard to do so. And take good care of those coveys! They will feed your soul longer than they will your belly.

While I only took one or two out of each covey and didn't chase singles, these are on public land and I wont be able to ensure their safety.

Where is the best place in the US for wild quail? Bobwhites specifically? Bucket list. I'm just glad I got in some great Atlantic Salmon fishing 25 years ago at affordable prices. Hope i'm not late to the quail party in my lifetime.

Middle section of the US is probably about as specific answer as you will get! Texas still has a lot of wild birds. Kansas is often spoken of. Finding the specific spots will take some research and "mining".
