7 Georgia Bob White Quail Hunting Tips
George Tompkins had always been smitten with the awkward dance of pointing dogs. Once they've done their job and pinned down a covey, he strolls in. Calmly prepared to take his shot as the covey of hunkered down bobwhites suddenly explodes into the sky.|

Many involved in Georgia bob white quail hunting consider pointing dogs, like an English pointer, to be indispensable. Yet because of plentiful grass or crops early in the season, bob whites can be hard to find. So here are some tips for working with your dogs to get more quail. |
Once the dogs have found the birds, follow in behind at the same angle the dogs are pointing. This will increase the odds of the quail flushing straight away. Giving you your easiest shot.
Avoid flock shooting. Even though they may look to be bunched up, there is more air between the birds than you'd think.
Reload quickly after your first shots. A belated straggler or two may flush moments later.
It is probably best to forget about looking for the scattered singles. If you're in an area with plenty of bob whites, regroup and start to seek out another covey rather than chase down individual birds.
Mark any downed birds carefully so you can retrieve them all.
Also don't forget this tip when shooting. Being small the birds seem farther away than they really are.
If you don't have dogs try walking fence lines and ditches. Patiently stopping at every clump of cover. To give the birds enough time to panic and flush.
Remember these Georgia bob white quail hunting tips and you'll likely bag more birds next time out.
