This particular ranch, (about 115,000 acres) is arguably in the middle of the best wild bobwhite quail habitat left in the country. 31 coveys is a great day anywhere, but on this property about average during a good year for birds in decent scenting conditions. The property owners are also careful with their birds. If two or more birds are dropped on the flush, then singles are not hunted, and we move on to find the next covey. Interesting this past year, they had three hatches, and well into December we were still busting coveys of what we call "cottonballs" (juvenile birds) and we would make every effort not to shoot into those coveys.
