Quail

[Johnnybear]

I've seen a couple covey's of quail in my area over the last few years. I've thought about hunting them but never have. They are the california ones with the little thinga ma bob on top of their head. Anyone hunt them?

I've never hunted California Quail (thingamabob on the head) but there is a season in regions 1-1 to 1-5 on lower Vancouver Island. There is no season for mountain quail so I guess you'll have to make sure what is in your area and be quick to identify the birds

I hunt cal quails all the time lots of fun.

Slyfox, what gauge shotgun do you use for them?

[slyfox]

20 and 12 gauge.
