Quail Hunting
Quail Unlimited, the nation’s primary conservation group dedicated to bobwhite quail, is working to reorganize its ranks amid financial turmoil and a series of personnel changes and resignations. The 28-year-old non-profit, which has been headquartered in Edgefield, S.C., ever since it was established in 1981, has also placed its national headquarters building and adjoining property…
Chatter, chatter, chatter was all that could be heard in the bird-hunting fields at Clybel Farms located just outside Covington. With the dogs pointing and the kids shooting, there was enough for the 15 participants to talk about for a lifetime. On March 7 there were 15 kids from Henry, Cherokee and Pickens counties gathered for a day of…
Drawings for a pair of SEEDS hunts were held at the Georgia Outdoor Network (GONetwork) office on the afternoon of Dec. 1. The two hunts will send eight kids hunting at Springbank Plantation at Barnsley Gardens Resort, an Orvis-sponsored hunting preserve in Adairsville. SEEDS members Walker Scarbrough of Hogansville and Brandon Lee of Macon were…
I can’t remember a time in my life when I did not own brittany spaniels. Over the years, one or two have been good bird dogs, one or two have been real- ly good bird dogs and one was unbelievable. His name was Pepper, my first brit. He was a gift from John Garner of…
Ten kids plus parents, five guides and dogs, plus 33 quail and 23 pheasants made for a great day last month. Kids that were quiet and a bit shy in the morning were, at the end of the day, sitting on tailgates discussing the finer points of shot angles, dog work and shotgun kick with…
I don’t know who said it first, but memory is the paradise from which we cannot be expelled. I vividly remember my first pair of hunting boots, my first shotgun and my first deer, but most of all I remember my first dog. She was a great gal. Just ask any dog lover, and they’ll…
We were walking a waist-high field of cover frozen hard by the winter’s first real cold front behind an energetic French continental pointer. Baylee, a Braque Du Bourbonnais the other guides jokingly called a French poodle, was doing his job, methodically working one section of the tall grass and briars with his nose, seeking out…
One of Georgia’s greatest outdoor traditions, hunting wild bobwhite quail, is becoming very difficult. A generation of young hunters is growing up with no knowledge of the quail-hunting legacy of our state. This season, several youngsters will get the chance to hunt some of Georgia’s best remaining quail habitat through the Bobwhite Quail Initiative (BQI)…
Georgia hunters are blessed to have a long deer season. There aren’t many states with four months on the calendar where one can chase bucks across the state’s widely varied landscape. Another thing we are blessed with in Georgia is an abundance of small-game hunting opportunities. And if you don’t believe folks are doing it,…
WRD’s Bobwhite Quail Initiative (BQI) is offering a unique opportunity to hunt some private farm land with awesome quail habitat. Youth and adults alike will get the chance to see how wild quail react when flushed. It’s bound to be great fun for all parties involved. The BQI is a program promoting the increase and…
