Anyone ever hunted NE for quail?
« on: April 24, 2013, 04:30:18 PM »
I'm on my way back from whirlwind trip out to Nebraska, from Atlanta, to pick up my dog from the trainer.  I flew out this morning and Im flying back now.  My trainer just relocated to NE to train in the prairies on wild birds full time.  He has a few pheasants, a bunch if chickens, and tons a of quail it seems.   I had no idea the SE part of Nebraska was loaded with quail, but it seems to be.  In just 10 minutes of showing me the property, we moved 2 coveys and I heard another calling.  Texas, Oklahoma, and Georgia were historically the big bob white quail destinations, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever targeted them in NE?  I think it might have to go on my bucket list of hunting destinations.

Depends on what you call the NE-lots of quail around Wenatchee, lots around Coulee City, Wilbur, Creston.  Doesn't seem many people over that way target them much, but I've had some great hunts for them around there.  They're a ton of fun to hunt, need a good dog to find em after you knock em down though. Just drive around early morning and you'll see them running across the road.

He was wondering about Nebrasky, the state in the middle of the US.

Geeze- thanks hollymaster-guess I was having a case of cranial rectitius, been so many comments and questions about the NE part of our state it didn't compute in my thick skull.

I suppose were just talking about them little bobwhite fellers that whistle and hold still long enough for you to find your dog no matter how many miles away he was from you when he first went on point

 :Pmaybe, but Im not too good to go slumming after gentleman Bob if I had the chance. I hear he is a little easier on the dogs than his western cousins.
