Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Wildlife Management Deer mount

Personally, I’d still much rather quail hunt, but there just a fraction of the birds around that used to be here. My quail hunting buddy and I had access to two big farms in IL that each held 13 big coveys. Plus many places in Missouri that had good numbers. We both had good dogs, because there were so many birds to train dogs with. Amazing times. I’m getting to like this deer hunting though. Lots more meat per season/hunt/shot. Ha! The only quail I ever had mounted were the first wild quail shot by my sons. (Both hens). The pheasant in the pic above was pointed by my 5th Setter Cash, on his last hunt. Practically deaf and blind at 16. He did not retrieve the rooster, never heard the shot.
