Quail season to open Saturday
Quail hunting season begins across the entire state of Texas this Saturday, Oct. 27, and although bird numbers are down significantly compared to the last two years, hunters are still expected to come to Shackelford County and flush out an enjoyable hunting experience.
“Quail numbers are down, but there are definitely some birds around,” said game warden Jacob Mort. “If I were to put it on a scale of one to 10, I’d put it at a three about now.”
