Report From Snyder Texas and Kent County - 12/05/17 01:48 AM
Hey Guys. I wanted to give an honest report from the Scurry County/Kent County area. I stayed in Snyder.
I am from Georgia and just got back from a week long trip out there. We hunted the same 3,500 acre ranch in Kent County that we did last year. We were averaging 20 coveys per day last year. We hunted the same place very hard and found between 2 and 3 coveys per day. Now, the place was over-grazed because they had a lot of cattle and did not get the rain.
We switched to different places west of Snyder. The best day we had was 5 to 6 coveys per day. These were places that looked really good.
I hope I am not putting a damper on anyone's quail hunting this year. I still had a great time with the dog work and finding 5 to 6 coveys per day. In Georgia, I will be lucking to find 1 or 2 per day.
I just wanted to give ya'll an honest account of what happened on my trip. I am interested in anyone else's comments.
I hope everyone that hunted in this area had better luck than our group.
