Default Quail and Carolinas

In honor of the last week of quail season. Hoping for one more wild covey tomorrow. It has been good in the Lowcountry this year.

John, great to learn you’re finding birds. Good luck with your end of season hunts. Share some photos if you can.

Prize from our last covey of about 20 strong. They go to the thickest briars immediately so finding singles is tough. Hopefully more to report this weekend.

My son and I were hoping to get another snipe hunt in, but not in 80 degrees. Looks like fishing

80 degrees!?!? Yikes. It’s 12 degrees here right now.

I hope it's okay that I turned the world so the photo was upright.

Snakes are the problem here with bird hunting when it's this warm. We saw one crawling across a dirt road yesterday.

John, in the mid to late sixties, we chased quail in Charles, Prince Georges and Calvert County, Maryland. Our experience with cover was similar to yours. Even with good pointers, it was futile to go after singles. Fortunately, the next field always produced another big covey. In those days, the area was very poor, and fences were non existent. The same for plowed ground and livestock. We could walk all day over hundreds of acres without seeing cultivated ground, a fence or a cow. Every barn had deer hanging, regardless of whether it was deer season or not. Quail hunters were just as scarce.
