My favorite quail plantation is Southern Woods Plantation in Sylvester Ga. An old world experience but with jeep drawn carts instead of mules. Great lodging, fabulous food and a mix of old release birds from early in the season supplanted by newly released birds. Guides and dogs are top notch and I believe you can hunt your own dogs. And it's a bargain compared to it's neighboring plantations.
In an effort to try something a little closer to home, this year I'm hunting Back Woods Quail Club outside of Georgetown SC. I have been on the grounds there during the Southern SXS Fall event. I have great confidence in Rick Hemingway and his staff to put on an equally exciting hunt, the accommodations are cozy and the food delicious.
