are we talking New Mexico ???
If so I "think" you might be hunting blue quail, just find a place where you are allowed to hunt, drive around until you jump quail or see them running on the ground. When you spot them get out and try to walk/run beside them, one will flush every now and then (shoot) and eventually the whole covey will fly. When you hear them calling to regroup head that way and flush a couple more here and there.
Near water holes is a good place to look for coveys.
It's a fun way to hunt and you don't need a dog!
I hope this helps, good luck!
