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.
