There aint no Quail in rural AK, or anywhere else in "The Great Land." Try again Francis!!

Gotta believe Hathcock could make the shots mentioned.
As for AK Quail, I only know what I can read, never having been there, nor have I ever even seen "Gentleman Bob" (should amend the bucket list to fix that). It appears there once was significant population. Some interesting reading on the cause of the decline and what it might take to bring 'em back.

ARKANSAS QUAIL RESTORATION

HATHCOCK

[OLD GEEZER]

Alot of grouse and ptarmigan. I figure he was probably shooting those which is still a good shot. I was walking down a trail outside Talkeetna, Alaska to our famous fishing hole and a spruce grouse flew up in a spruce tree a good distance away and all i had was my 44 pistol. I figured it would make a good treat for lunch. I shot and blew his head off and then a couple more flew up and landed in the same tree. My buddy said gosh shoot a couple more heads off and i said oh i think one is enoughf.

A true gentleman. Nice pistol shooting. Tasty enough too, I'll guess. All my spruce grouse were taken with large bore rifles while big game hunting. Better decapitate or there would be nothing to eat.
Cheers,
Jack

- OK-- try this- pages 28-29 of this great book about L'ong Tran (Gook for "White feather") Berkley Books NY ISBN No.0-425-10355-2 and I quote: "Now with a shotgun, Carlos' Grandmother thought, he could hunt dove and pheasant and QUAIL, when they came in season"- This was Geyger Springs AK in the late 1950's- further quote-page 28-29 "Carlos never mastered the knack of hunting with the shotgun, although he tried shooting dove, pheasant and QUAIL---- He always wound up getting his old single shot rifle to bring home the game"

Now then- I'm not the ONLY Gyrene (NO EX or Former either) on the PGCA, but when I talk about USMC legends like Gunny Hathcock or General Lewis B. Puller Jr.("Chesty to us- FIVE, count them- Navy Crosses) I am "A-J squared away, and not only have my ship together, I can law it out for a "junk on the bunk" like I can field strip a M-14-blindfolded--

-- In my beloved USMC, we called them "Irish Pennants" and trimmed them off our Utilities with a fingernail clipper before the Sgt. Major's inspection in Boot Camp--
