Never seen one before. I've seen white grackles, white mockingbirds, white cardinals. But never a white blue quail. How about ya'll?

It's a first for me. Thanks for posting. Did you shoot it on the ground?

Rusty is a real purist when it comes to quail hunting. His friend said don't shoot it while its running on the ground. He replied,"I'm no. I'm going to wait until it stops."

It's getting mounted. With a couple of normal blue quail. Rare bird indeed.

That's a trophy! What part of West Texas did that come from? Very cool.

I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

I got my mule deer off his ranch. I guess good karma paid him back.

I had to leave and wasn't there when he killed it. He texted me the pic and I replied you're going to mount it right? He said "no, we ate it, wanted to see if it tasted the same as normal blues"....

I hold a grudge against blue quail. We have a long tumultuous history. I'd use claymores on them if I could. Dang right. There's a covey of blues on my uncle's place and the order is to shoot on site and get as many as you can. We don't want them.
Yeah, don't listen to me. I'm just an idiot.
Lol. Duckbill that was funny! The dude up top has already taken lots of bone before this deer, both mule and whitetail.
