Hi, JC! We might just have to do that if the drought in Southern CA keeps up. Everywhere in our West, water equals quail.(Maybe we could trade you some snakes--just kidding!) Actually we have lots of quail but often in places where you can't hunt them (like Catalina Island). They seem to favor back yards and gardens; when I was a kid in Northern California every farm wife had a covey that she protected from us hunters--"You can shoot all the jackrabbits and cottontails you like, but leave my pet quail alone!"
I like all quail, but the California variety has the neatest "paint job," I think. (Our mountain quail variety is even prettier, but very hard to hunt--real runners and in very tough terrain). Do you know when California quail were introduced into Chile?
