Babe & Pete Quail Hunting

In Texas, most leases are located in the cross-timbers and south central areas of the rolling plains within a 200-mile radius of Abilene, Texas. The terrain is rolling native rangelands with a variety of low growing brush such as mesquite, buckbrush and shinnery.
In Oklahoma, most leases are located in the western portion of the state-extending northwest into the panhandle along the Beaver River. The terrain is rolling sagebrush country with sand hills and scattered plum thickets.
Our leases are 20,000 to 50,000 acres in size and are usually within a twenty minute drive of food and lodging.

In Texas, the quail season usually runs from the last weekend in October to the last weekend in February. A five-day permit is $35.00. The limit varies from 12 to 15 birds per day per hunter.
In Oklahoma, the quail season usually runs from the first weekend in November to the 15th of February. Pheasant season runs the entire month of November and December. A five-day permit is $35.00 for quail and $75.00 for a pheasant and quail combination. The limit is 10 quail and 3 pheasants per day per hunter.

The quail population fluctuates from year to year depending mostly upon spring rains and the severity of winter. For this reason our leases are spread over large and diverse areas. We hunt where the birds are. In years with high populations we will find 20 to 30 coveys a day. In down years, 10 to 15 coveys a day is more likely. Hunter harvest and success data are available on request.

Our minimum hunt package is for three days of hunting with a minimum of three hunters. We hunt from foot, truck, or horseback depending upon the hunter's desire and location. Catered hunts with meals and lodging are available. Meals are cooked and prepared to order. Lodging provided is comfortable remodeled ranch houses. We offer unguided hunts on a limited basis; these hunts are primarily done on ranches that become available in January after the conclusion of deer season.
