Northwest Oklahoma has
long been known for its outstanding quail populations and
consistently produces the kind of quail hunting that quail hunters
in most other states would die for! Let our outfitter show you
great wild quail hunting, guaranteed. Wild quail: we make the
distinction. Numerous properties encompassing about 35,000
managed acres ensure quality hunting opportunities and
low-pressured birds.
Hunts are custom-tailored to the specific needs or pace of each
individual hunter or group. Each quail hunt is fully guided. Each
guide is professional, experienced and dedicated to your enjoyable
stay. These kennels contain seasoned, quail-savvy pointers,
well-conditioned from hunting wild birds. A deep roster makes sure
there are fresh, eager dogs for each and every quail hunt. Of
course, you are also welcomed to bring your dogs. Your favorite dog
will think they've died and gone to Hunting Dog Heaven.
The hunting lodge is a great place to relax after a long day's
eventful hunt in northwestern Oklahoma. A nice, clean,
comfortable lodge with home-cooked meals is the perfect place to
recap the day's events. Meals offer a hearty mix of southern- and
western-style cooking.
Northwest Oklahoma's sand hill and short grass
prairies habitats consist of interspersed oak and wild plum
thickets, native grasslands, farmed and ranched lands that
effectively support bobwhite quail. With careful management
and a solid hunting plan, 10-bird limits are the rule here, not the
exception. We can't guarantee that everyone will shoot a limit or
push the average 15-20 wild-bird covies per day, but more hunters
do than not.
This Oklahoma quail hunt can be paired with an early morning
duck hunt. This part of the Central Flyway boasts many, many
migratory mallards that settle in to feast on an abundance of
grains and, a further to the south, peanuts. Duck hunts are
well-scouted in advance of the hunt, are usually conducted on small
potholes with small spreads, and provide fast-paced, in-your-face
action.
These Oklahoma quail hunts book out very early. Hunts are
usually sold by mid-June. If you've been looking for a consistently
productive, wild quail hunt - book early.

detect the bird faster.
