A Welcome Surprise - 02/06/22 07:45 PM
First time we’ve ever seen any quail, let alone a covey in 15 years on the ranch. Can’t think of any neighbor on the side this was taken that would have released any birds for a hunt but they had to come from somewhere.
Picking gravel on an edge of a 90acre pasture that we grubbed and converted from dense mesquite to a native blend from Turner Seed. 3rd year of growth and it has done incredible, planning on burning next year and every 3 years after. If wild birds and survive, hope they like it and stick around. Probably 6-8 in the covey.
