general upland bird hunting

[NW-Eric]

went over to lake chelan this last weekend and managed to get a couple quail after alot of hiking and beating brush just trying to find them... so i was wondering if anyone could point me to a spot closer to the west side,  i dont have a dog so my trips are a little less productive so i would like to use less gas if someone would be willing to share a spot or two with me.

thanks,
Eric
