I've hunted scaled quail successfully in CO, NM & AZ. Never found huge numbers but had some fun hunts with a great Vizsla 13-24 years back. Remind me of pheasants the way they run, but my dog was good on them just like on pheasants.
I successfully hunted Mt Quail in OR about 19 yrs ago but that was the only place I've hunted that had them. Beautiful birds!
