...man...that looks good..... here in north texas (d/fw area) , there have been no quail around - or if there are , i havent been blessed to see them. when i was a kid hunting and trapping in the early 1980's , a covey of quail would light off and we'd nearly crap our pants ! those bobwhites would align themselves in a circle facing outward so that if one became startled, it'd cause a chain reaction and hell of a lot noise.....the damn quail and the huge-ass bullfrogs both would scare the poop outta ya..... ever since the fire ants got into this area - no quail ....... my grandparents trapped the japanese blue quail out in fort stockton (far west texas) , tho.....they showed me how to do all of that... one or two of the nicer mexican and central american restaurants serve up good quail here (gloria's and uncle julio's) - that's about the only quail action i get nowdays - around here, anyway.... thanks for the cool post and welcome to airgunning ! ......you know, consequently , they DID have a special documentary on pbs (public television) about nutria this week.... the nutria came into this area right about the same time as the damn fire ants..... yall know public television has a very liberal agenda , but there they were promoting nutria furs and pelts ! --- and cooking the hell out those things - louisianna style !!! nutria have become so over populated down there that many gain income on the $5 bounty per nutria (swamp rat) tail....they were just throwing the rest of the animal away...........probably aint got poop on the taste of quail , but it was good to mention i saw that on extreme left tv. - rane on !
