Good luck with the bottle rockets, they are a lot of fun to hunt and can humble the most proud hunters in the world.

Well it was a great hunt and time spent with the family. It was tough hunting though with the birds flushing really far and running. I was able to drop 5 but only found 4 and my dad dropped 2 only found 1. Same thing with my girlfriends brother,dropped 2 and found 1. But it was his first ever valley quail.Well here are some pictures of some Socal Valley quail.

Good luck.
We used to have a great quail population where I live, but the predators have knocked out the birds.
I need to start dropping some coyotes :fud:
