quail quota

[waterman]

I see Bridgestone is offering a quail quota hunt this year. anyone applying?

 

[Antler Daddy]

probably now!

 

[m1shooter]

I just did!

 

[MickThompson]

Shhhh! If I don't get drawn I blame TNDeer

What's the odds of shooting any without dogs to help you flush? Just curious as I don't have a bird dog but wouldn't mind walking around

 

[Tweeter]

Yes I am

Very low. This is a wild bird hunt, not planted "coveys" marked by whoever dizzied them up and chucked them in the grass.

Your odds are equally poor that you find any downed birds in the cover. If you put in, do right by everyone else that applies and the birds- bring someone with dogs.

You get drawn then find folks that want their dogs to work!

That was my thoughts as well, but it states maximum of three hunters per party. Non hunters are not allowed

 

[waterman]

As I read, it says selected applicant can bring may bring 2 other hunters for a maximum party of three.

Your dog handler would need to be one of your 3 I reckon

 

[Mud Creek]

Bridgestone is THICK with briars!

Says 3 hunters if the dog guy doesn't have a gun he's just an onlooker but who knows with TWRA

Depends on how this is interpreted by the area manager.

I would bet onlookers would not be permitted.

 

[yellalinehunter]

The guy with dogs can just carry a gun and say he's hunting but doesn't have to shoot

Applied the day it opened. Got to get my year old dog on some wild birds..

What breed did you get?

What breed did you get?

This year I will have about a year and a half GSP. Will be coming out of training in November/December. I am picking up another GSP in about a Month or Two. I wasn't looking for a second but found an amazing litter that I couldn't turn down. So the super young one will come with me on some preserve hunts and currently looking for a field near me to release a couple quail out on to train.

I doubt it. What if your wife or kids wanted to tag along? I say it is 3 gunners total.

Have at it. I'm not the one making the call.
