First Quail

[CPAjeff]

I’ve heard rumors about coveys of quail in the surrounding area here in Utah. So, with the day off of work yesterday, I thought I’d try and find a covey. After a little hiking, the dog caught wind of something in a line of Russian Olive trees. I had one shooting lane and the quail that came through it got a pattern of #7.5 at about 20 feet. The rest of the covey landed over on private property that I don't have access to, so the pursuit of that covey ended for the day.

I could get used to chasing quail - it’s a blast!

Congrats, I've been scouring the desert outside of El Paso for the last couple weeks since the season opened. They were everywhere prior to the season. Haven't seen one yet, but I did get a big fat jackrabbit yesterday.

Nice work! It really is an underrated hunt and I love it every year!
