Does a .44 Mag Ruger Super Blackhawk qualify? LOL
Do you dove hunt with it often?
No. I do have an Anschutz 1710 that the original owner used to kill a dove on the wing. Hit in the eye. True story! I can't remember his name since it's illegal to do that. I did shoot a quail with my .357 with a shot load once and that's legal. Wasn't very sporting (on the ground), but I was hungry.
You don't shoot a quail on the ground here, you ain't going to eat quail.
??? That's a puzzling statement, yes I have shot quail on the ground, hunting Texas hill country if you have ever encountered the scaled quail, they would rather run than fly, I have chased them on the ground to get them to flush and they just ran faster, got tired of trying and did a pan shot, got three with one shot, took them back to camp, deep fried them to a golden brown, had quail with wild rice, most excellent!
I guess you had to be there. The illegal aliens coming through the ranch had broken into the camp house and stolen all the food. We killed a scrawny jack rabbit as well as a few quail by the feeders. Almost had to scrape the meat off the rabbit bones! We were there to work on deer stands and had nothing but our pistols for snakes. I've never hunted scaled quail, but I had a friend who grew up in the Valley and he said the way they hunted them was to chase them in plowed fields and shoot them when the ran over the top of the furrows. BTW we had permission to be on the property, even met the Game Warden. he asked for our id and licensees. He had seen a open cross fence gate from the road and stopped by to check things out. He helped us get unstuck from a dry sandy creek bed. He saw the quail in the bed of the truck while he was helping to push and said nothing about them. I assume because quail season was open.
