I love quail hunting, theres not much better than that rush when a covey you didnt believe was there busts under your feet. Unfortunately, our quail here seem to be almost gone, due to a couple of really hard winters. After our wheat harvest in a couple of weeks, we will be better able to see what we have. California quail hunting, at Uncle Kens ranch and in the Los Padres natl Forest was always a big deal when I was younger. I have learned to get pretty excited about a bunch of roosters cackling their way out of a brushy draw tho...Diane and I were in Scotland a couple of years ago for a month + and had the opportunity to watch a shoot near Achnasheen. Couldnt afford to participate, but really got a feel for the whole thing. Maybe we will win the lottery and can go back....
