California Quail

The California Quail (Callipepla californica) is a small, highly sociable game bird renowned for its distinctive physical attributes and charming behaviors. With a strikingly patterned plumage that varies from gray to brown, accented by a characteristic curved topknot, these birds are easily recognizable in their natural habitat. They typically inhabit semi-arid regions, brushlands, and open woods of California and the southwestern United States. For hunters, California Quail presents an exciting challenge due to their swift, erratic flight patterns and their tendency to flush in coveys, making effective shots crucial. Hunting these birds often requires an understanding of their preferred habitats, as well as the use of skilled pointer or flushing dogs to locate and retrieve them effectively. Additionally, hunters should be aware of local regulations and conservation measures to ensure sustainable practices while enjoying this rewarding sport.

Professional California quail hunting guide and outfitter in Northern California. As the name implies valley quail inhabit lower elevation valleys throughout California. They can also be found higher in altitude along the mountain foothills and high desert riparian areas. Thick briars and brush pockets intermixed with grassy openings are the perfect place to begin the search. During optimally wet years the valley quail hatches can be large and winter flocks in the dozens. When cooperative they can hold tight for dogs and explode like bullets out of the briars. Valley quail hunts can be effectively combined with mountain quail, squirrel, dove, and rabbit hunting. We use pointing dogs that are also trained to retrieve for quail hunts. California Quail are also known as Valley Quail.
