I love watching how other's hunt upland birds. Beautiful country and fun video!
I just scored the exact same trifecta as you did in the IV yesterday! (Except you shot more than me lol) I know everybody says a quail call is for merely locating birds and ain’t for “calling in” quail, but I continue to defer.
As I was literally laying down under a bush hoping the doves overhead wouldn’t see me, I use the call I bought from you to call back and forth to a covey of Gambel’s quail that was about 200 yards away at first. After about an hour of this I get up and they’re now 25 yards away looking at me. I ran towards them but instead of flushing they ran ahead and flushed out of range. But hey the call works great!👍🏽
Great video. Just receive my quail call today. Thank you! Great call.
You're a pretty good shot! You are blessed to have birds in abundance in California. We have Bobwhites in south Georgia, but the population of wild birds have been declining for decades due to farmers' overuse of pesticides.
Your videos always get me pumped. Getting ready to go out this morning and do a little bird hunting. Awesome hunt, best one on film in my opinion. I solo hunt most of the time as well. I use to think you needed a dog for upland game but you don’t. Keep those videos coming Steve. Thanks again for the great quail call, working like a charm.
Hey guys! I noticed the quail call around your neck. What call is that? I am also a solo hunter and have been considering a call recently. Thanks

I'm a dog less upland hunter also and it's nice to see videos of a guy just out getting it done
Appreciate your way of showing hunting here in Southern California where it's so hard I like how you showed what you have to do when it's not clean kill that took a lot of Bravery nowadays
Nice hunt. A very good year for Quail after all the rain.
The sound with that mic does sound much better than the average gopro. Especially the sound of the shots.
Thank you for your videos! I’m a solo hunter as well and it’s helpful to watch how others go about it. Really enjoyed this.
You are the man. Always watch your videos before quail and chukar season to get pumped.
Yes, sound was really good - nice upgrade
Impressive shooting and great tracking! I doubt I could find those gray quail among those rocks!
Good video, these are the hunts you live for when it seems everything is going right, though I don't know how long it took. And i did notice that after the shot, the camera stayed on one bush where the bird went down, while you were walking to it and not always looking around. That is a discipline that many don't have and they just keep looking for the next bird and loose the one they shot. A lot of dove hunting finally taught me that lesson.
I remember hunting upland without my dogs, now i can never go back, not only do they do the flushing for ya but they find all your birds hahah
Always love your videos. I've lost birds too. You can only spend so much time searching for them. I also bought a quail called from you a while back. Used it in October. Had a great hunt too!
Your videos are excellent. Not only because they are so well shot but because just watching you I learn more about quail hunting and that should help with my hunting efforts. I also like that you're picking up your shells and wads, which far too few hunters do. Might even purchase one of your quail calls if they're still available. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you.
Nice. Like the slow motion takes. Good job!!!
Nice shooting! Definitely a lot of birds there. Where I hunt quail it’s a lot thicker brush so it’s a lot harder to get them out of it
Great videos! You're the only person that I have seen with this much game action. And your game calls are amazing, better than my store bought🤙
Super great hunting. Funny hiking rabbit. Haha
Thanks for the vid Steve.
I love the video! Thanks for sharing.
That was a good hunt. Looking forward to the next.
Great outing! Thanks for posting.
Wow! That is fantastic!
Man, I wish I was there to join you, that is my favorite hunting.. quail, dove, and rabbits.. when I lived in West Texas, my dad and I use to really get those dove, quail, and rabbits.. living in Dallas TX, I haven't went hunting in years, I hope to find a good hunting place in the Dallas area. Hunting is one of my passions
I feel you. No dog here and no one to go with so I go it alone. Unless the quail is dead in the air they will hit and run for any cover before they expire. Really hard to find them sometimes. It really is better to have a dog to find them. Sometimes we gotta do both jobs. Once they are hit, I am usually sprinting toward the bush I marked. Looks silly, but imo get there ASAP or they are gone. I'm in So.Cal too so put out an alert if you are looking for some company.
Great job! The quail have my number this season. I'm hoping to change that soon.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Upland Jitsu "Jorge" also hunts without a dog with great success.
Nice video man. Keep them coming.
Great video! Going to hunt some chukar today, fingers crossed I can get some.
Your vids always impress. Good work.
Good video great sound thanks
got em epic day.Great video happy hunting
what an epic day! nice job
Great video. Thanks
good follow through on your shots
What an amazing bag, good going..
Love your vids man.
Interested in those quail calls
Hey, I bought a call from you last year. It's badass. I have two questions: do you make calls for mountain quail because I live in south lake tahoe?
What are the specs of the shells you used for this mixed bag? Thanks.
This is a great video man video
Great shooting, awesome spot!
Fantastic hunting day there
Got a few the other day with my Beeman .22 pellet rifle. BBQed em right up👍🏻
Its nice to hunt with air rifles,I have several myself & always use them to "Harvest" 👍
I've mostly seen your videos I really love watching them. And I got one question where do you prefer to hunt quails and chakoor which area do you prefer?
Chukar get my blood pumping more when I'm on them but quail are certainly easier to get into and the various spots are closer and more widespread. My preference is to keep pushing and find and accomplish new experiences getting new species in new spots.
FYI I deleted your other comment. I understand that your eager to get out there and find spots but that's not a question we ask other hunters over public forums. If a spot was named it wouldn't be long before numerous others saw it and decided to go as well. Pretty soon the spot wouldn't be much good anymore for you or others.
nice work! look at all those chemtrails, yikes!
Great hunting video, you tried hard to find your downed birds.
Great hunt it’s so hard to hunt quail in Blythe, especially without a dog.
I actually did pretty good the one time I was out there hunting gambels, but there was a lot of dense areas for them to escape to.
Great video!! Get a dog and it would be amazing. A really big part of hunting is watching the dog work. Labrador will love you and love the hunt. Also they will find the birds easily and happily hand them to you!! You also can mount a go pro on the dog.
Really enjoyed the video. Avid fisherman here trying to get into rabbit and quail hunting. Live in the Bay Area and there seems to be a few BLM spots not too far from us for rabbit and quail like Grizzly Island and Napa-Sonoma Marsh. Trying to get a group of my fishing buddies into doing it with me. Doing some research and came across your video. Keep it up! Looks like a 20ga semi-auto would work great?
keep up the good work , nice channel & hunt , i sub'd
I can't even limit with my dog yet. lol Nice shooting!
I wish I could find a place like that to hunt quail around me. Good shooting.
This looks like the area that I quail hunt out towards the army base and by the junction ...Where is this?
Dinner served for a week! Hell of a day for So Cal! I was hiking in the Palm Springs desert a week ago and within 30 minutes saw a cotton tail, 5 dove, and a rattlesnake… all on heavily hiked trails! I just wonder what’s out further? Just not sure where I can actually hunt around Palm 🤔
BLM land and any area outside of city limits that is not posted or being farmed. And down South in the imperial valley the MO is anything that is not posted
@@TheRoamingHazard good looking out! Lots of land out there! I just began my interest in hunting. I’ve been bass fishing for over 25 years and how our lakes have been managed and the over pressure on small water has turned me away but I love “the hunt”. Be well 👍
awesome video!
Looking into doing the same but with a 50 cal air riffle that uses shotgun shells made for air riffles. Going to have to look up the legalities of it
In Californina? If you are hunting quail or other non migratory ground birds you could probably just follow the regs for air rifles. Which means you can during the general season and you can actually use lead unlike the rest of us. For any migratory bird (doves and waterfowl) the state is stupid and still has not recognized that air powered shotguns are a thing that exist and would be a no go.
@@TheRoamingHazard Weird, fish and wildlife state: Q: Can I use a big-bore air rifle to hunt big game like wild pigs, deer and bears in California?
A: No, big-bore air rifles cannot be used for the take of big game species or migratory game birds. However, they can be used to take small game mammals and resident game birds.
The allowable “methods of take” for big game animals can be found in California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 14, section 353(opens in new tab). Air guns are not listed as an allowable method of take.
Note that air rifles are not considered “firearms” in California. Pre-charged pneumatics (PCP) big-bore air rifles use compressed air as a propellant to fire pellets.
Confusing...
That’s a feast
Another nice video bro, I’m actually watching for the FPS style filming, watched your head strap mod videos. Just had one question, were you filing this in Wide or SV?
I film in wide for hunting. If you set your up and down pitch correctly than wide is what you want for hunting and shooting. Definitely do some test vids for setting the up down pitch right and than mark it. I use super view for things like mountain biking. And linear (if i remember) for selfie stuff.
any recommendations for good spots (quail) in southern Cal?
Good hunt brother, don't listen to the negative comments left here. Keep on keeping on. Really enjoy your videos. What's the price on your calls by the way? Would like to pick one up...
I price them depending by the type of wood and the grain figure in the calls. The simple maple ones with a lanyard were $15 (which I just ran out of). Most of my bastonge walnut calls were $25 and a few of them the had cool knot voids filled with colored epoxy would be about $35. Waiting on more epoxy for some. They all function the same though. Sound wise the $15 calls work the same as any of the others
Damn brother! You were on this day!
Sounds like you are close to traffic, do you encounter many other hunters where you are? I see the 1100 is still jamming once in awhile. Great video, you have done a great job putting in the time to find the birds.
I took the stock off the 1100 and opened up the bolt spring/buffer tube (not sure what to call it on a shotgun). Anyways it was kind of a pain in the rear to do but it was noticeably gummed up in there so I cleaned it up and am hoping that was the issue where maybe all the gunk that worked it's way over the years was causing the bolt to either not go back far enough or not return fast enough every once in a while and cause the shell to get hung up when feeding in. And if this doesn't fix the issue I'll go jail something for 10 days that will... or will anyways actually.
Keep on
How do you find out if it’s okay to use 22lr in different areas? I’ve been looking at BLM websites but even the few that show that hunting is permitted rarely disclose what firearms are allowed.
Hey fellas I’m new to the upland game and am located in central Cali. However, I can not for the life of me locate and decent dove location quail sure but dove no luck. I am not looking for specific spots rather just point me near some actual public land that is huntable. 😂😂 thanks and good luck on the upcoming season.
In Merced county try China island, salt slough O’Neill or los banos wildlife areas
Carrizzo plains
Right on Right on
What a bag! The place looks very familiar, isn’t this private land inside city limits, or I’m probably just wrong
Good shooting!
Where is this place I will like to go
Here from okcity
First year looking for quail up here in the owens valley. Any tips for this area? Having a hard time finding coveys
Great video bro. Question. Im planning on going rabbit hunting at that location, im using an Air Rifle, gonna head to Big 5 . But do i need a permit or license of any kind to hunting there?
You need a hunting license to take any game in CA. And you need hunters safety to get a license. I think with the coronavirus they are doing hunters safety online only which makes it easier to get then normal to be honest.
@@TheRoamingHazard Absolutely correct. Get your HS and then purchase a license. No matter the method of take you need to have a current lic.
You should make a cooking video show us how you eat them
Steve nice job on the video. Just want to know about your shogun. Which 20ga are you rocking in the video. I couldn’t make it out. I’m looking for a semi 20 for the kid similar to yours. Also can you tell me about the shells.
This is a Remington 1100. Honestly it's heavy for a 20g, my current 12g is lighter. And it gets pretty dirty. This one was great at one time but I think it's getting shot out or something on it is because it's having FTF issues. Have no clue how many birds it has put down over it's life time but it's a lot. And the gun doesn't shoot 3" either. Out the different 20g ammo I've tried I liked the Kent Steel Dove #6 the best for quail and dove.
What kind of land do you need to look for to quail hunt?
Great hunt. I live in northern california, could you share in general where you hunted?
Just stumbled across your stuff I hunt some of the same areas as you do. Maybe one day we will run Into each other. Suggest on a Video is what you carry or your set up camera and gear. Keep them coming.
Hey guys I really want to get into up bird hunting I currently own a Remington 870 18 1/2 barrel is that something I would be able to use/start with? Or should purchase something else?
Also can I practice shooting here? Thanks in advance!
For hunting you'll want a longer barrel that ideally has removable chokes. Most hunting barrels are 28" but 26 and 24 are out there as well. The only hunting I've seen done with a short 18.5 barrel is my daughters .410 but that's because it's intended for kids. I'd say use what you got but you'll want a different barrel when you can.
With all the fires this year I don't think any public areas that aren't ranges are allowing target shooting yet.
Nice
@theroaminghazard what kind of shotgun are you using i see it looks like a .20 gauge?...
20g Remington 1100 in this vid. Not a shotgun I'd recommend tbh. It killed a lot of birds but is heavy for what it is and too finnicky.
Oh ok you like a really good shot !! Good hunting!! :)
@@yungwest8311 Thank you!
Two questions. How to find public land like this in Bay Area? Do you collect your spent shells?
Use the land management layer on caltopo.com (free) or the onx hunt app (paid but more detailed). I do pick up the spent shells. Often I come back for them because recovering the bird I downed is the first priority and easier to lose track of if you take your eye off the location. And inevitably there will be shells that fly off somewhere I can't find them to make up for these ill pick up shells left behind from others so my litter impact is zero or negative. The yellow 20g after shot are a terrible color to find around dead grass too. Red or blue 12g are much easier to find.
what place it’s that, I live in texas if you would like to hunt some doves. 👍
Man what a great video. How do I buy one of your calls?
Sweeeeet!
Is this Southern California
Yo! what size/type of shot you using and choke? Thanks.
In this vid the barrel was a fixed modified choke and I believe I was using mostly Kent Steel Dove #6. And this was a 20g. This season I'll be using Kent Steel Dove #6 out of a 12g and I'll be patterning some chokes before I decide.
¹1100 smoking 😂
Can you tell us what choke and shells your are using
This older shotgun had a fixed modified choke. I try to use Kent Steel Dove for all my quail, dove, and pigeon hunting.
Have you ever encountered any snakes where you’re picking up the prey
Never. Which to be honest seems odd as long as I have been hunting. Just keep an eye out before you grab them or if there are dogs make sure they do snake aversion training every so often.
Is this in Moreno Valley? What are the permit & license costs and availability?
Did you hear or see any other hunters when you were there?
No, Antelope. You'll need hunter safety, hunt license, and upland validation. CA DFW will have prices. Hunter safety should be easy to get since they allow online only now due to the virus.
@@TheRoamingHazard Did you get an Antelope tag?
Do you sell quails and is it in upland California
Where this at?
LOL
What kind ammo your using?
For quail and dove I prefer Kent Steel Dove. The upland fasteel is good too but I think getting the steel dove number 6's on a sale is the better buy.
normally where you you buy it from?
Where is this at ?
What area is this?
Sorry about the previous comment. I've been looking for good areas for quail around my area for a long time. I got excited 😅. Lol. I always end up hunting out in AZ. How much do you charge for your Calls?
Its OK. It's the only type of comment I do remove though. There's a couple good places over there. For my basic walnut with lanyard they are $25. And then the cooler looking ones or chamber calls, etc are more. I should be adding more calls to my etsy shop which should be in the discription of linked on my channel banner. And if you want advice about places around your area you can email me. I just never discuss it in the comments. The places out there get trashed enough already. I don't show it in the vids but a couple spots out there are gross. The day I catch somebody with a couch in their truck out there ima lose it.
Oh I'll be adding some more calls today too.
I hate leaving trash. That's something that has always bugged me. Ill give you an email when i get a chance!
Hey buddy I would love to know the location where u hunt
Awesome video! What county is this?
So do you still hunt out in Owens valley ?
Haven't been recently.
