You dove hunters give us quail hunters a report on what you here call and what you see this coming weekend.

I hear them whistling in the pasture behind my house in Heath Tx, 20 miles east of Dallas. What's up with that

Where were those birds?

My lease

Saw a 20 bird covey north of floydada in short grass pasture near equipment and corrals while dove hunting this am.

Nice to see.

Saw a covey of 8 in Montague on my lease.

Saw several coveys feeding out in unplowed wheat in Young County. Covey size from 6 to about 13 birds, some of the birds were not full grown

Well not a report from dove hunting just a report from the ranch. I'm seeing allot more birds than I was expecting after the drought, we've had some pretty good rains at the right time and the birds are responding. It's about 50/50 blues and bobs, seems the bobs handled the drought better than the blues. May take a few birds this year I'm just not sure. One more good year and we'll have an explosion of the like we had a few years ago when covies of blues were running 50 to 75 and the bobs were running 20 to 30. This was on the big ranch, my place always seems to do a little better. I'll start feeding next week and will have a better idea of what we have.

Been seeing quite a few birds. Here lately in south Texas. More than I've seen the last 5 years

Ken & Joe hunted Mitchell county and reported seeing 5 coveys on Saturday morning around where they were doving. Said 4 bunches had a average of about 10 and one had about 18-20.Seems to be quite a few more than last seasons wash out.

seen more birds than in years past!

I like the mechanix brand gloves from lowes

How the heck did that happen. I responded to the wrong thread

Just got back from a week at the ranch in Scurry/Fisher counties. Saw several coveys including one of about a dozen birds that were all still small. Still nothing compared to what we had 4 years ago, but much better than the 2 coveys I found all of last deer season. The area in general has lost A LOT of grass and some brush. It's going to take several average years or a couple of wet years in a row to come back. On the bright side, I now have 7000 acres to hunt with no cattle.

Saw 2 coveys on the fisher/nolan line. One was decent sized 12-15.

Nice covey of blues on the highway between Mccamey and Rankin.

Nice to just hear that Quail aren't completely wiped out after all.

Saw quite a few coveys on different fields over opening weekend. Some just south of Roscoe, some a ways south of Loraine & some up around Sylvester.

covey with 20+ spotted North of Noodle in Jones County.

Saw 2 coveys, 2 different places in Young Co. yesterday

Hunted just east of El Paso in Clint this past weekend. There were quail running everywhere out there. Didn't see any large coveys, I'm sure they were there but they are really hard to see in the desert, but saw lots of singles and doubles.

2 coveys spotted at our place southern Kent. Co. 9/22/12 we were only there for a few hours
1 covey had 28 birds (yes 28) the other was just 4.

Several coveys on my dove lease in Waller. Not allowed to hunt them though.
