Nebraska has some incredible upland bird hunting.

Quail Hunting: Arguably the Most Popular Upland Game Bird

Upland bird hunting, especially for wild quail becomes more limited each season, but can still be incredible if you go in the right place with the right person and some well trained dogs. We suggest going with a good outfitter for a great wingshooting experience.

Every fall, countless upland bird hunters set out to pursue America’s original game bird. Hunting wild quail, or wild upland birds of any type for that matter, requires knowledge, skill and some toughness. A good bird dog doesn’t hurt either. The entire quail hunting experience, however, begins with good habitat, which is why every bird hunter should be a Quail Forever member.

Quail Hunting Guides and Outfitters

If you’re wanting to go quail hunting, we suggest going with a good outfitter for the best upland hunting experience.

There are six types of quails found in North America.

  • The California Quail and the Mountain Quail have the largest ranges and are found from southern British Columbia through to California and even into Arizona.
  • The Gambel’s Quail is a common quail found throughout California and Arizona.
  • The Montezuma or Mearns Quail can be found in drier habitats of Arizona and into western Texas.
  • The Scaled Quail who has the plainest look finds its habitat from Arizona to Texas.
  • The Northern bobwhite is the most common small game bird across the Eastern United States. They can be found living in grasslands and farms and can be found mainly along the eastern half of the U.S.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you,

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
