Who has the most birds as of the last few years? I'm assuming it's somewhere in the panhandle?

I think I would try the Pitchfork. Larry Hill is an old friend who was guiding there last year.

I emailed this link to Larry. Here is his reply.
"Thinking it may be double over last year bird count is double in lots of pastures. Good year for young dogs. Hope you can get some of it"

I know Jon personally, even sold him a shag dog this year. Trust me when I say that he can put you on the birds and A LOT of them at that. If anyone is interested in getting in touch with him, send me a message and I'll get you his cell number.

The Mariposa is also ridiculously priced. Not that I could afford it but just curious as to how much?

Wow. Some people got some money. It's corporations and men who have wives who will spend more on a shopping trip while they are hunting.

Ok, I guess I should rephrase my original question...
What outfitter has the best wild bird hunting and numbers that isn't ridiculously priced that regular people can afford?

You want a fully guided wild bird hunt (e.g. somebody that has dogs, takes you to the birds etc), right?

It would be much cheaper to go to a preserve and shoot pen raised birds.

My buddy has a good dog and we are all experienced quail hunters, so honestly just paying for access to good bird country would do. Does anyone offer stuff like that??

http://www.collierkennels.com/hunting.htmIt's been awhile since I talked to him but they did offer Un guided day hunts and reasonable prices. Worth a shot.
