Texas Quail Hunting Also, Pheasant & Chukar Hunting |
|
Bird up! The anticipation builds as you ease up behind the dogs, rock solid on point in front of you. Muscles tighten, the gun quivers, and you ask yourself, "Is this going to be a bobwhite quail, or chukar partridge, or maybe the big cock pheasant you've been looking for all morning?" Now you're even with the dog and still no birds have broke. About that time you start to think that maybe the bird has moved on. You relax just a little, and turn your head to the guide for instructions. That's when they catch you off guard, as the air around you explodes with the whirring of wings and clucking of a half dozen escaping Chukar. The guide yells out, "Bird up!", and you try to regain your composure enough to snap off a couple of shots before they get completely out of range. Maybe this time you connect, maybe you don't, but it really doesn't matter, when you're hunting in Texas with us. There's plenty more birds! . Our upland bird hunting areas are well managed to produce a lot of native birds. Both the bobwhite quail and blue quail (also called Scaled or Cotton Topped quail) can be found in number. In fact, when the weather conditions are good for reproduction, the numbers can be downright astounding (wild birds in 2007 will be average. Although the rains this year are good, we are just coming out of the drought of record). BUT, We also have excellent suppliers of flight conditioned birds for released bird hunts. With released birds, we can take Chukar and Pheasant in addition to the quail. Combined with our experienced guides and a kennel full of well trained bird dogs, a quality Texas hunting experience is assured. . And when the hunt is done for the day, you can relax at one of our many comfortable, well equipped lodges. At two of them, you'll even find skeet ranges, a swimming pool, hot tub, open bar, great cooking, a deck patio overlooking the stocked fishing pond, and a game room with big screen Satellite TV, DVD, VCR and Stereo.
The season on our released birds runs from the end of October to the end of March. Make your reservations now! Wild Texas quail hunting usually runs from the end of October to the end of February. . Click below to see; Sample Hunting Packages . |

We have mated pairs of bobwhites running around all over, and bunches of blue quail running around the 26,000 acres of pasture we lease near Laredo (Pkg RC-Q). Bring at least 3 hunters and hunt either of these quail havens for $325 per gun per day w/lodging, unguided (2 day minimum), or $525 per gun per day, fully guided (2 day minimum).

.The
Lone Star State never stops amazing me with the quantity of game it can
produce when we get the rains at the right times. Irrigated grain fields
and feeders assure plenty of quail food on our properties. CRP land, wind
rows and cover strips give the birds lots of places to escape predators.
Pumped stock ponds assure them a drink of water every day. So, even in
a bad year we have good numbers of birds. But, last fall was one of those
years that you hope for every year. We had so many quail on opening day
that it was plumb silly. The first part of deer season you'd drive out
to the blind and jump covey after covey along the road, and 2 or 3 more
families would come to the feeders while you watched for deer and hog.
This quail hunting season looks like it could be even better!
