ThomC Report post Posted October 22, 2020 I went out on Monday, saw lots of birds but they were so dang wild. The area must have been pounded over the weekend.😷 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dmoto Report post Posted October 24, 2020 Headed out this morning for a couple of hours to a different spot east of the valley that has held decent quail numbers over the last 10 years or so. 5 mile hike, 7 birds and spooked up 4 decent size mule deer bucks, so that was a good surprise. Really liking the Federal HiBird shells in a #6. No lost birds this trip and the heavier shot doesn't chew up the bird any more than when I was using #7.5. Really cuts down on time looking for a downed bird....they drop like a rock, so probably sticking with that round for the remainder of the year. Gonna try some of Hank Shaw's quail recipes this time around. Good stuff. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muledeerarea33? Report post Posted October 26, 2020 Not able to get out this weekend but while cooking supper I saw a scramble out my kitchen window. I’ve seen them most every year for a few years now. I didn’t think they could breed? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just don’t think I’m that lucky 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
