This year AZ Game and Fish has noted that the quail population has reached normal. This is the best it has been in over a decade. Although the summer and fall have been a bust for rain, the spring was quite wet and the populations are as good as they have been. Where I hunt there were thousands of coveys spread everywhere. My problem is I have no one to hunt with and no dog. My kids are grown and don't care to go. It is quite a distance and I do understand it takes a lot of time for the youngsters. A typical covey of 20 Birds has 40 eyes and they see you from quite a distance away. They stay on the ground somewhere between 70 and a hundred yards from where you're are and just keep moving. I have not figured a way to get close, or to flush the birds while alone.
Does anyone know of a method to hunt quail alone?
