Title: How is the Quincy Release site?
Post by: Ellensburg on December 05, 2010, 10:20:23 AM: Just realized that we have a couple places RIGHT next to the quincy release site. It would be a great place to take the girlfriend and dog for a weekend. I drove by it yesterday and saw a few trucks. Our house is on the same road as the colockum golf course. It looks like all of the gates entering the area are closed and thats fine with me. This is the same area that holds burke lake, quincy lake, and a few others correct?

Just wanted to know how the area is. I will be heading down there soon to get the pup out. Maybe shoot some ducks as well.

Any info is appreciated.

When were you out last?

How do people just wait on the release? I know around here, its pretty secretive. I'm sure that there are still a few stragglers that don't get shot. Seems like they would have enough cover there to sustain a population?

Its about the same with all of the release sites...the birds dont make it past a week or so even if they dont get shot...they just dont have it to make it in the wild...id say its always good to take the dog out, but a few days after a release go out without high hopes..maybe get into some quail... Good luck!
