Pete,
Scaled quail, no doubt. Those little guys are a hoot, had a lease south of town that was covered with 'em, lost the hunting rights to a developer :(. Head uphill from Colorado Springs and you've got blue grouse and ptarmigan, go way west and there are Sage grouse, mountain sharptail, chukar and Gambel's quail. Head downhill and there is mediocre bobwhite and pheasant. Waterfowl all over the place, you just gotta' find em. Next time you plan a vacation to "God's country", make it in the fall. Colorado allows non-res. hunters to buy one day licences for $10 a day---one heck of a buy!
The biggest problem I have, starting Sept. 1 is deciding what I'm hunting next weekend. Lots of choices, all are fun.
thanks again for the information,
Steve
