Some of my best hunts have been just south of the Waller area. I was on and off the Frances Truchard lease for several years. One of his pastures was in the Winchester area. It was a really good pasture.

I have lived 20 miles north of Waller for 8 years now and haven't seen any quail in that area. I did see a bobwhite cross a road just south of Fieldstore once though. Someone suggested that it was probably a released bird.

8 years ago til last year seeing a quail was rare in the area. They have been making a come back the past 3 years. I lived in Waller from '96-2010 and had some really good quail hunts out there. But around 2000 or 2001 they were gone

My dad has a covey on his land in Wichita Falls for the first time in 7 years. They showed up earlier this year. I saw a bunch in Wolfe City while I was looking for arrowheads. Had all my attention on the ground, scanning for flint, and they blew up about 6 feet to my right and scared the shizz out of me.
Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

Quail and pheasant have been pretty thick in the panhandle.

While dove hunting near Palacios I think I jumped a covey of 3. Pretty new to TX hunting so I am not completely sure they were quail.
