So my old man was a big bird hunter in his youth and hasn't been able to get out and hunt birds in several decades. He's retired now and I'd like to take him on a quail hunt sometime this fall/winter and wanted to see if anybody had any reasonably-priced recommendations. All I'm really look for is something that's maybe a one-night deal. What I've done before is you arrive in the afternoon. Either shoot clays or dove that evening. Eat steaks and drink a few cocktails by the fire that night. Then a quail hunt the next morning and back home.
I've done several hunts as a guest at places like Joshua Creek and Tonkaway Ranch. I'm big fans of both, but my pops is a much simpler man. I've looked at numerous places and I'm getting a wide variety of pricing. I've seen pricing anywhere from $300 per gun all the way up to $1,800 per gun. In terms of location, I'm in Austin and he's in Marble Falls and I don't mind driving a little ways if we have to to get a great experience. But ideally, it's more of a mom and pop shop than a large commercial one. I'd love to hear what you guys have in terms of recommendations.
