Georgia Hunting Plantation Blog

If you are passionate about hunting in Georgia, you will, without a doubt, have heard about the long tradition of quail hunting. Spending time with Georgian hunters from the older generations sharing their quail-hunting stories is something you most likely experienced. But why are older bird hunters so passionate about sharing those old quail hunting stories? To understand that, we will look at the long tradition of Georgia quail hunting and why it is still one of the best bird hunting experiences today.

Hunting & dog lovers tales

If you’ve heard the stories, you will notice straight away that the hunter itself isn’t always the focus. Let’s face it, the star of the show is still that good old bird dog, and boy, do hunters love to talk about their dog! Man’s best companion has never been more appreciated than during a good quail hunt. 

Imagine waking early in the morning, getting prepared, and taking your good old canine friend with you to the fields. You hide; they search and find. As long as you train them well, they will bring your prey back intact. There is a knack for training your dog for quail hunting. You will want them to get your game back in good condition, which is not always easy with such a small bird. The last thing you want is for your prey to be destroyed and unusable for consumption.

The reality is that quail hunting today is not as common as it once was, simply because there are now fewer birds available to hunt. Agriculture is advancing at a fast pace and taking over a lot of the southern land. It has led to quail losing their natural habitat over time.

The great news is that we have plenty of land and quail to hunt at Gray Ghost Plantation. We are very much attached to this old Georgian tradition, and we want to make sure that it keeps going. Our parents taught it to us, we teach it to our children, and we want you to have the opportunity to do the same. Beyond the hunt, let’s not forget that quail is actually a very tasty treat. All around, it is just a great tradition with many benefits!

Nothing comes close to it. Spend some time educating your children about the tradition of quail hunting, and maybe they will keep passing it onto the next generations. 

Quail hunting isn’t just a hunt; it is sharing a heritage. After all, what is there not to like? A great time outdoors, bonding with your dog and family represents what hunting is truly all about. We cannot recommend it highly enough. 

If you look at the bigger picture, the truth is that the more people know about quail hunting, the better it will be for the quail population themselves. It will allow future generations to conserve their land and encourage the re-growth of their natural habitat. This is an aspect of hunting that people tend to forget about. Hunting means laying the ground for those animals to populate, it is something that we all benefit from.
