I was driving through Grand Forks and saw aome mountain quail along the hiway. Does anyone here have any info on hunting them here and any good spot? Our would they take a guy out hunting them. I have a great little Wire Hair and I want to try her out on these birds they look like fun. I have a motel in the EK and would trade Elk or turkey hunting.

well, I just looked in the Synopsis and the BC CORE manual and the Synopsis doesn't have anything mentioned about Quail hunting, but the CORE manual states there is NO open season on Mountain Quail.

Mountain quail are closed on the Island but the quail in region 5 are open. If anyone wants to get together and chase some a round lets put it together.

just for ident purposes, did the quil have 1 or 2 feathes on top of thier heads?just askin cuz mountain quail only are found on van isle.
california quail are common in the west koots as well as here in ok valley.
there is a season on them but most times they are found around domestic feed areas.(farms and homes) due to better feed.seasons are oct 1 to nov 30,10(30) in reg 8:D

Lots of California Quail in GF. I have three German Shorthairs and hunt Quail,Pheasants and Huns. The main problem for out of towners in most of the birds(99%) are on private land. I will be doing on scouting in Sept, so if you PM me before the season opens I will pass on some Crown land spots. Should be a great season, birds wintered well.

Any info would be great. I used to live in southern AB and did a lot of Pheasant and Hun hunting there. If anyone here wants to go there and hunt upland and geese I can arrange it. I have 4 or 5 dozen decoys somewhere and lots of good spots to hunt geese.

I know I'd like to do bird hunting...but a query. looking through the synopsis, all I see is an open season on quail in region 8 (Okanagan), but I saw mention of someone hunting in region 5. what's the story there?

Alberta has great upland bird hunting I grew up hunting Pheasants and Huns in southern AB. BC has better biggame hunting except for Big Whitetails. I would be willing to put anyone in contact with a few guys I know for birds in southern AB.

Thanks riflebuider I will take you up on the offer ,have you been to Brooks Alberta? I know they have release sight there for hunting ,few friends of mine went there last year they had a blast .My wife and I were thinking of trying it out this year I got her hooked on it lol the shooting part ,not the killing yet but she will eat them .Out of all the L.E.H draws we put in, 10 in total she got a draw for a white tail doe in mu 801 , never seen white tail up there ,so I told her we will bring some white paint up there to paint thier butts ,she didnt think that was funny .Hunting in Aberta all you need it a win card,but big game is different you need to have a guide or know some one there ,thanks again riflebulder

That answers my question about what kind of Quail i saw at Christina Lake this year Palmer. They were up on the hillside residential area where my In-Laws have a summer place.

Timber-Hunt there are lots of BC residents that come here to Hunt the Brooks area. Apparently if you have been coming over for years a Salmon or two will help smooze ya'all into some permission to hunt .
However theres lots of Open area for everyone in Southern AB to have some Upland Fun.
