RE: Found Any Wild Quail
I did hunt Phelps WMA in VA. Flushed 2 birds one day, another daysome kids running beagles for rabbits said they flushed some birds.Didn't expect to see any birds, but it's close to my home and good place to work out the dogs. [/align]

RE: Found Any Wild Quail
It was a suprise, I have to give the DGIF credit for the way they manage the land at Phelps & Thompson WMA. They probably recieve more hunting presure than any other public land in the state. After deer seasonyou can have the place to yourself mon-fri.They do run some field trials at Phelps and there is a section of land that is managed as Quail habitat.

RE: Found Any Wild Quail
I know of a farm in Nokesville where there are 2 covey of wild quail. I deer/rabbit hunt there w/ my beagles, and flush them sometimes. Always wanted to pop a few, but the landowners said no. I'm sure they'd never know, but that's not my style...
