Quail hunting anyone??

[C.O.B.]

I would like to put together a group of members for a Southern Quail hunt at Morrison Pines in Moultrie GA. The venue comes highly recommended from our members Mills and Julia Morrison who are in no way connected to Morrison Pines.

The dates are obviously as yet undetermined but either the first week or the last week in January 2015 is still open. I'm thinking of a three day hunt and during the week is more available then dates encompassing a weekend. I have spoken with Jerry York from Morrison Pines and the details are as follows.


The daily rate is $750.00 which includes meals, lodging (single occupancy), hunting with 20 birds/day + or - field transportation. NOT included are gratuities, GA sales tax @ 7% and a $12 preserve hunting license. Air port pick up is available from either Albany, GA or Tallassee, FL. I didn't inquire as to the cost of this service as a three day hunt will entail 6 guns for me so I'd drive.

Information is available on there web sit you can go to Information@morrisonpines.com Also Mills did a Parker pages story on one of their recent hunts there not to long ago.

There is no better way to escape the winter in either the Midwest or New England than a nice Southern Quail hunt. If your interested please e-mail me at rlanderson410@msn.com or by PM. Lets put together the first PGCA Quail hunt.

I hunted with Jerry York when he ran Ashburn Hill across the road for about 8-10 years. I have been to Morrison Pines as well. The hospitality is first rate, guides, dogs, birds and food are excellent. Jerry and Buddy have a loyal following with guests dating back to the 70's. They have become lifelong friends. I have tried many of the South Georgia Spots but these guys will have you coming back.

Count me in..

Greg i'll be glad to count you in, will you be flying?

This amazes me that the price of hunting Quail in Georgia has come to this in just fifty short years. WOW!!!!!!!!

[C.O.B.]

Compared to some of the other locations this is a very good deal and it's pretty much all inclusive. Due to personal reasons I had to cancel a hunt last year at the last minute. Three days of hunting crowded $5K.

[Opening Day]

Well Rich you already know this but count me in. The price seems to be very fair. I will be looking forward for this hunt.

You aren't paying for the quail hunting. At that rate you are paying for the difference between staying at a Quality Inn and The W Hotel, which is fine as many people have their wives along and enjoy the service and pampering. I can hunt at a place not too far outside of Atlanta for $8/bird. Nostalgic? Hell no, but it gives my dog a little work. I frankly do not know the difference, as I've been too scared to stay at a place like that, if only to avoid deciding that I enjoy the high life. Sounds like a heckuva nice weekend with good folks.

I have done a couple of these type hunts and it is a memorable experience. I haven't done one in well over 20 years however and wanted to go at least one more time. It's the atmosphere (IMHO) that your paying for, Mule drawn wagons, hunt master who is in charge of the dogs and the hunt, the Southern hospitality and everything that goes with it. It's like stepping back in time for a few days.

That's what I would like to experience and this is as close as I'm going to get.
Rich, can we bring our dogs? My boy Nash would kill me if he knew I went hunting with out him

Angel you would have to check with them but I would doubt it. In the past the plantantions use their own dogs and handlers. I know what you mean as Daisy goes nuts whenever I go into the gun room. She hasn't learned the difference between targets and hunting seasons but gunner never did figure it out either, they just know guns
