Quail numbers looking outstanding this year. I am not going to hunt them again in some of my spots to let the numbers come back up.

No. It has been so quiet that most of us in this region have been sitting on our behinds most of the summer.

Post by: Duckhunter14 on August 10, 2015, 11:05:20 AM: They are everywhere over by my cabin in Central WA. Huns, Chukar, Quail, and Grouse. Never seen so many in years past. Been over there the last two weekends and cant drive down the road or take a hike without having a covey run across in front of you. Saw quite a few grouse with 3-5 in a group too. Obviously this years birds, but quite a few big mature birds by themselves too. Great to see.
