doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com OT: California quail prospects?

Mike,

here in Yorba Linda I see quail calling. The grass is still green in the hills and there has been a lot of growth. Some of my favorite mountain bike paths are too over grown to ride.

Fudge, my Pudelpointer and I run through horse trails of Yorba Linda, today we busted 6 pairs of birds. Love may be in the air.


I am looking to hunt the Onyx ranch this year. It's a pay for access land but it reasonable at 100 buck for a day pass. They have permeant water and I have found quail populations to be quite good there.

Best,
Brian

Brian, we were just SE of you (Weir, Fremont, Black Star, Silverado, Santiago, Limestone Canyons). So pretty much the same environment, minus the 91 and 261 slabs.

"Fudge" is a good 'ole boy name for a dog! I have a hunting buddy in NYS who has a chocolate lab named "Hersh" (short for "Hershey"). Dog was abused, had six "owners" in his first year and STILL is a super bird dog and friend five years later. You just can't keep a good dog down.

I'll look up Onyx Ranch. I'm a cheapskate but don't mind paying to use good hunting land. Ranching is a tough row to hoe and we need to keep those guys in business.

We should all plan a date and place for a Southern California Doublegunshop.com quail hunt. I have a couple places we could use where the birds are pretty good.

What do you guy think?

Let's talk about it via email or PM. My email is armstgeo@hvcc.edu
