Solo Dave: Quail Hunting "Mano-a-Mano"
Quail Hunting - Season Wrap-Up
Quail hunting in South Texas this season was outstanding! We had perfect conditions. It all evolved around rain. Rain over the last year and a half provided some nice, dense cover or overgrowth for these small birds that live basically on the ground to find shelter from predators.
That rain also provided a large population of insects which are predominately what quail eat. Rain triggered it all. South Texas was dry for several years until the last year and a half; we have been blessed with more rain than we've seen in a long time. Everything was green all through the winter last year. It was odd during deer season to sit in a deer blind or stalk through the woods and feel like it was a spring day. Everything was green. The Mesquite leaves were still on the trees even with a temperature of 37° at the end of January. Quail season was on fire in 2016.
