Golden quail

[SpotNStalk]

Decided to do a little quail hunting this past weekend while helping out on a Jr. deer hunt.. Ive never seen a "blonde" gambel quail and it doesnt have a plume. Anybody ever seen one?

Debating on whether or not to do some type of mount with it.

Can't say I've ever seen one. Pretty Cool.

Nice Bird !!!!I have shot one that looked like that one except had a top knot down south in 36b I thought maybe one of the gambils was getting his freak on with one of the bob whites down there LOL a rare bird for sure I would have it mounted.

Youll probably never kill another one. Might as well mount it.

Looks to me like it could be a scrambled quail..... Half scaled quail and half gambles.

I saw some quail in 36a that looked like half scaled and half gambels this past weekend. I still am not sure what they were! Actually they looked more like 3/4 scale and 1/4 gambels.

Could they have been the masked bob white quail they have on the refuge?

no, that's what I wondered at first, but they didn't look anything like those quail. They looked like shorter, stockier gambels with pale top knots.

Sort of like that one, but a much whiter top knot. Perhaps they were scaled, but they seemed to have more of a top knot shaped like a Gambels than a tuft like a regular scaled quail.

It was dark out and they were running in the road in our headlights.

I could not find anything on the internet that resembles the birds in the pics. I would bet they are a cross bread.

These birds were over by bagdad.. I dont think there are any other quail in that area besides gambels.
