We hooked up with Turkey Slayer for a late season quail hunt earlier this week in Central Washington.
We covered alot of ground and hunted hard for a day and a half and managed to find birds in several different public hunting access areas.
On day one we hunted in a day long snow storm and the birds were holding extra tight for Otis our German Short Haired Pointer. Slayer almost got knocked over by one bird which rocketed out of a bush and bounced off his leg!
We "lost" Otis several times only to find him on solidly on point in thick sagebrush.
We ended up with 10 California Quail in our game bags and missed an opportunity on a cagey late season ring-necked rooster.
Huns and Chukars were scarce.............only found a few tracks in the snow.
Overall, had a great hunt and only saw one other hunting party during our adventure.
Hope to hear about other's late season upland bird excursions. Still time to get after em.
Slayer or I will post pictures this weekend.
