Yankes in the southern woods isn’t a new concept. Glad y’all enjoyed it

[@cuchulain1647]

My fellow Southerner, I respectfully ask to represent our kin more faithfully by spelling correctly. yankees, with too ‘e’s is the correct spelling. Also, the s in South should be capitalized, and the y should not be, for obvious reasons. - Please forgive my pedantry and sesquipedalian nature.

@@cuchulain1647 Thank you for introducing me to a long word

This looks way more fun than golfing.

[@TheFlush]

We'd have to agree 🙌

I’m in Alabama and these plantations put out thousands of pen raised birds at the beginning of the season and add to them along the way. I used to guide on a preserve. We put them out each day.

[@darryllove2545]

Man, they have some BIG coveys on that plantation!!! Reminds me of my childhood hunting in southwest Georgia...

[@goldenboydeuces]

Great video. In addition to AL, south Georgia has a tremendous presence to plantation style quail hunting. I would say this, the coveys flushing in this video are pretty amazing. The plantation definitely put out a ton of birds for this shoot. I have never seen the abundance of birds for a plantation-style hunt. Usually you will see 4-8 birds per covey. This is closer to wild bird hunting from my experience. Great job guys! Enjoyed it.

I sure miss my Bob White quail hunting days in Central TX. Great hunting on Ft. Hood. Didnt even use dogs, unless 1 of dads buddies brought his along, but that was not often. Lits of walking and brush busting but always got plenty of birds!!! This would be a blast.

[@talisikid1618]

Development & land use practices have greatly reduced quail in Alabama. They used to be everywhere. Not so much now. Turkeys are declining now too. We grow houses, factories & shopping centers now.

[@jordanoayers]

Pen-raised I'm guessing? Seems like they looked and acted a bit different from wild birds. Unfortunate that there's not the number of wild birds there was in the heyday of plantations, but hopefully Quail Forever can help fix that.

[@danhillman4523]

My GSP would swallow the quail, so I stopped shooting at them. The pheasants were too big. LOL.

[@jasonbrown7516]

I grew up in Pike Rd and did most of my quail hunting in Fitzpatrick, just west of where this is filmed:)

[@corynoftal5058]

This show is responsible for half my recipes

[@NicoRusconi49]

Looking forward to Quail Forever in Kentucky.

[@user-fs7df1xg9v]

I used to hunt them but never had much luck. Now I just buy a six pack of quial from the Chinese grocery....only a couple times of year.

[@holdenbrown8225]

I wish Alabama would change its farming practices so wild quail will come back to north Alabama

[@georgekiratelidze5875]

Are you guys using 26 inch or 28 inch long barrels?

[@chrisskates1038]

Whatever happened to Quail Unlimited? I wrote an article for their magazine years ago.

[@tylerbarkley8202]

Wild or stocked birds???

[@samuelsellers3829]

Well welcome to the south and one thing shoot fast aim fast and swing fast these ain’t slow birds also don’t shoot over unders they don’t swing good they catch wind to ez you have to shoot a side by side and also get good at shooting

[@asimriaz4973]

I love it

[@partridgepimp3363]

Would love to try a hunt like this with my dad and daughter. What does a 3 day hunt like this cost

[@MicahMorlas]

1 day is $4400 for 4 people, lodging and 3 meals included

[@skippindocs5793]

You don’t need a lodge just go google a quail plot that the state has created and hunt it

[@SnailHatan]

@@MicahMorlas jesus christ. That’s absurd
