QUAIL RIGS In pockets of quail country — Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, and Georgia — the quail rig is more than just a mode of transportation. It's a mobile headquarters, a dusty workhorse, a bird dog's kingdom on wheels. Quail rigs come in all shapes and sizes. Some are decked-out pickups with climate-controlled kennels and custom built-in water tanks. Others are chopped-up sedans with plywood dog boxes, held together with a prayer.

Heart pounding. Breath held. The world goes still — then the covey rise, wings explode from the brush, the double barrel barks. This is quail season. #quailforever #thehabitatorganization

Quail Fact Friday By late October in the Midwest, chilly mornings often keep quail tucked in dense cover to conserve warmth. As the sun rises and temperatures climb, coveys move into more open areas to feed on seeds and forbs. Hunters can often find them near south-facing slopes or edges that warm up first.
