Title: Huns
Post by: Muleycrazy01 on October 28, 2021, 07:02:31 AM: Heading over to my property soon have been doing a ton of onX scouting with my work schedule, thinking of targeting huns in the Wilbur area, any insight from other upland hunters about that area for them or should I look elsewhere?

Haha well I hope you’re right, I normally hunt valley quail around the Bridgeport area and do fairly well but I figured I’d branch out and try to find something different this year

Seem to get them in less steep areas (ridgetops) and also sometimes in areas where there is some brush. I think like chukar they like cheet grass. Unlike chukar, rocks and huns don't seem to go together.

Most prolific spot I have found is on a pretty substantial hillside where I burn went through years ago and burned up the sage leaving grass to grow in after.
