Wild birds are available at two or three plantations in the Albany/Leesburg, GA area. Three years ago one of them was getting $11,500 per gun for 1 1/2 days hunting, all accommodations included.

Most people who haven't hunted bobwhites opt for released birds, which can range from really good fliers to pitifully poor, according to the operation..........and are much less pricey.

Stan is absolutely correct. Some folks who have never hunted a wild quail have not really experienced quail hunting. Not saying that is a bad thing at all, but there is no comparison really to wild bird hunting and pen raised birds.

For several years I belonged to a local field trial club. Most of the guys participated in the horseback trials, and although we were the "poor" participants (did not own horses), we could have a ride whenever we wanted. It was quite the experience. BTW, Missouri jumping mules are quite the thing, especially among old coon hunters. They would lay a blanket over a fence and the mule would jump it. I saw one once at a horseback trial. I was fascinated, but the others looked down their noses.

On the bucket list- wild pheasant and quail. Nothing has made me want to hunt wild pheasant like Pheasants of the Mind by Datus Proper.
