Anyone know if the scaled quail hunting near big bend has been any good lately, especially around the park or black gap wma?

Or even elephant mountain wma?

I am not of any help but am very interested in hearing any reports as well. I was considering making the 8hr drive given the good year for quail but have never been to any of the areas and have never hunted blues before either. Maybe next year.

good friend of mine just got back last week, seen more birds than ever before, they hunted in the Marfa area

I'm west of BB State Park, had a great hatch, large coveys, but the numbers are down a little since the cold weather started.

Sounds good maybe I'll go down there in a few days just to see how it is. I'm assuming the rain from last spring probably helped the hatcheries.

Went down to black gap wma and hunted for two days. Hunting was the best I have ever seen. Blues were everywhere and weren't that hard to get them off the ground.

Thanks for the report.

Yep. We seldom get follow up reports.

That's great to hear went to years ago biologist said the birds were everywhere and then just disappeared that place can be fantastic and his beautiful scenery.
