Driving around on a 900 acre ranch between Moore and Yancey, been here an hour and jumped 12-15 covies of 10-20 birds.
This is a pretty raw ranch not managed for quail, a few corn feeders not much else
Great to see the birds are back!
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I am loving all these good reports.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

man thats exciting! I've only had the pleasure of upland hunting one time several years ago and although the 20ac plot of crp only held 3 quail and 1 pheasant that new years weekend, it was incredible to see my terrier learn the find and flush birds. I think I'll try and find a weekend hunt somewhere this year based on this good report!
