Howdy! Quail is kind of thin in many areas. Eastern Turkey hunting beginning April 1st is in a number of East Texas counties. That being said, call the wildlife biologist assigned to the public land you intend to hunt.  There are lots of public land places that say they have quail or a turkey season, but you would never find either one on many of the WMAs.  Your best bet is to search the Annual Public Hunt booklets, then make some phone calls.  Good luck!  Always, Gene

Where are you planing to hunt? I have been hunting public land for years and there are not may years that I have went without killing a bird. But I do have to tell you it takes alot of savy and time to hunt public land. Be ready to hunt smarter and longer than the average public land hunter. 100 yard hunters is what I call them! lol

I live just north of Dallas but im willing to make the drive. What did you have in mind there Chris?

Sorry it took me so long to respond! I've been busy! Take a look at the bird I killed on Friday. I am ready to go anytime I can. I just enjoy the outdoors.
