We have had about 10 days of weather in the mid to upper 90’s with the morning temperatures in the 70’s. That’s too hot to train dogs no matter how early you get out. That’s even too hot for the pigeons. I’m still wanting to hunt all six kinds of quail, scaled, Gambols, Mearns, valley, mountain and bob white. Also, the hunts need to be on public hunting lands.
I’m still trying to get all the information I can. I have read a book written by Ben Williams and another by Tom Huggler about hunting all of the quails. I’ve, also, called Washington and Oregon’s Conservation departments to get what information I can. I’m also going to call some of the other western states about their quail hunting.
The 2 hardest quail to find will probably be the mountain and the Mearns. Only Arizona and New Mexico have seasons on the Mearns. Several states have seasons on the mountain quail and most of them have lots of public hunting.
If anyone has an area I should check out or any other information they would share with me they can contact me by e-mail at windypointsj1s@aol.com. I have hunted the Gambols and scaled quail in New Mexico and also the scaled quail in Texas but I have no experience with the valley, Mearns or mountain quail. I’m looking forward to hunting in some new areas and adding some new states.
