A Southern Tradition starts at an early age

Great Southern Outdoors Quail Hunt in Alabama A lot of people call themselves avid bird hunters, mostly spending time hunting ducks, geese, or doves.  If you’ve had a hard time finding a good dove hunt to take part in, lost the lease where your duck pond was located or just don’t want to travel as far to hunt geese, and you’re anxious to find a way to do some bird hunting, then a  Great Southern Outdoors Quail Hunt
 just might become your favorite wing shooting sport.  Quail hunting has long been a tradition in the south and Great Southern Outdoors Wildlife Plantation in Union Springs, Alabama is the perfect location to participate in a quality hunt. 

  You arrive at the plantation the afternoon before your first morning hunt, check into your room, and meet the other gentlemen that will be joining you for the next few days.  Your group will dine on a delicious meal that evening, and sit around the lodge talking about the next day’s hunt. The next morning you will have breakfast, gather your hunting gear together and load up to go to the quail field. There in the field you will meet your field guide and dog handler, waiting with wagons and dogs.  After making sure you have everything you need, your guide will release two of the finest dogs you have ever laid eyes on. As soon as your guide releases the dogs they work through the long fields of brush and pines.  Your guide will consciously conduct the dogs with a sharp blow of his whistle. 

The lead dog will come to a sudden halt and point.  Your guide will instruct you to gather around the dog, and then he (the dog) will ease in to flush the covey.  The birds explode out of the tall brush and you begin shooting.  Before you can fire the last shot, the dogs will retrieve the harvested bobwhite quail and returned them to your guide. You will continue through the fields all morning long repeating this process as your wagon man follows closely by with the wagon.  You will be amazed how easily the dogs can leap through the briars to locate the birds. 

Your group will hunt until time for the mid-day break and then head back to the main lodge at Great Southern Outdoors for another fantastic southern meal.  Don’t be surprised if it is difficult to find the energy to make it back to the fields for the afternoon hunt. As evening leads to the end of a great day of hunting you will enjoy sitting and listening to stories of  how generations of those living in south central Alabama have valued  Southern Quail Hunting as a tradition and how they used to mount horses on Saturday afternoons and search for coveys until there was no daylight left.

   When all is said and done, you just might find that in all of your many years of hunting experiences, that a Great Southern Outdoors Quail Hunt topped it all.
