[391 shooter]

I am looking to book a hunt with a full service guide who hunts wild quail only. I inquired with Bruce Buck about any wild quail hunting East of the Mississippi but he could not recommend any. So I am now looking to find one in the Western states. I will consider traveling to any state except CA due to their gun restrictions which would make it hard to travel there.

Anyone have a good referral? Thanks.

p.s. I am posting this on 2 other sites to try and get a referral or two.

In their FAQ's they recommend a preserve license for non-residents. I'm dubious they are shooting wild quail on a preserve license.

Give them a call and talk to them, pretty respectable bunch best I can tell. I got no skin in it either way.

Go one better, do a duckduckgo or google search for wild quail bird hunt plantations.

I did the search and found Mariposa in TX did wild bird hunts. I will call Heartland up and see what they say. I am only interested in wild bird hunts as anything else is readily available. Thanks for the help!

There is a first class place here in FL - Lightsey Family Ranch.

Kansas has good hunting as does Missouri.

Thank you, Duck Nut. I was just hoping for a wild bird hunt but will consider Lightsey Ranch as an alternative. The other preserve quail places I have hunted in FL were a very poor approximation of what shooting wild quail is like. Thank you.

Border to border outfitters. Never used them myself but they were featured on the flush tv show

I hope you find a good one.

Have you ever hunted woodcock?

I hope you find a good one.

Have you ever hunted woodcock?

Yes, I go to ME every October hunting grouse and woodcock. Tough shooting for sure!

We hunt in SW Texas, these are blue quail, lots of them but it is not like hunting bobs. I can give you a number if this might interest you.

I would be interested if it is a full service outfitter. I hunted blues a bit when I was in CO many years ago. Thank you.

I have hunted there and they were pen released birds. I also shot three triples in three days.
One might of been a quad with three shots as the third bird two fell at the shot and two retrieved.
Nice People and lodge but I did not hunt Wild Birds.

 

[Oyeme]

I will inquire. I know, it is very difficult to have wild bird hunts and have volume of hunters at same time.

No suggestion on guides but if you ever get to Arizona from October to February you need to hunt quail here. Great quail hunting and beautiful high desert to hunt.

I’d like to find a similar outfitter for quail in Arizona. My wife’s family is all in Phoenix. Hunted with her brothers a couple years ago, just one day. Flushed a couple quail but didn’t get any. I did get a gigantic bunny, though!

That was probably a jackrabbit. The ones with horns are called jackelopes.
