Wild Bobwhite Quail Habitat

States

From several quail hunting trips during one season this picture series on this page and the collection of links below show where the Mid-America Hunting Association owner and operator Jon Nee, and the partner, John Wenzel quail hunt over their own dogs. All of the pictures are of MAHA lease land available to all members to hunt and all the farms have been previously recommended to first year hunters. The MAHA partners hunt to know where to recommend to others to have a good quail hunt. that good quail hunt will ensure that member renews his membership. This is the difference between a hunting club which we are not and a hunting business. We have the attitude to ensure all have the best hunt possible to ensure their return business.

Linear crop edge common to parts of Kansas and north west Missouri. The benefit is this cover holds quail. the consequence is that once the end of it is reached there is nothing to do but walk back and hope for some bypassed singles. It is common for the covey to flush both directions along such cover and do so more frequently than out of it and out into the fields

Mixes of thin woody cover with close to the ground grass cover makes for a must hunt spot the experience quail pointing dog will always run.

A tough farm to hunt as it all must be covered, the edge thickness is frequently to the point to prevent hunter crossing while the dogs always seem to go on point on the far side. Such a lease gives a lower ratio of singles to covey action due to the thick cover. That ratio of the number of covey to singles points is frequently what others cite as that which distinguishes our quail hunting from that of other well know regions where all quail hunting is coveys only. A different mind set entirely as we expect to have a lot of singles action from every covey with the habitat making most of the difference between a higher and lower number of each.
