NE and KS have been a little tough this year, so we switched gears and headed South. NM was good to us today. 12-15 coveys (we couldn’t remember exactly) and 19 blue quail to show for it. Back at it again tomorrow!
If you’ve never hunted blue quail, I suggest giving it a shot. In 2 1/2 days we saw 32 coveys, and killed 29 quail. This was a tough year in NM, which should give you an idea of how incredible the hunting can be. With that said, they aren’t “gentlemenly” in any way, shape or form!
