We get a few quail here in Idaho, but only during the summer.

If you've seen them, they are there all year. Family/ friends Idaho.

I could eat some Quail bogged up in some wild rice right now.....

These right around the house are safe... otherwise though....................................

I've never even come close to a fan of metal, but if I was anywhere located near this event...I'd not hesitate to spend the day there. That would be a once in a lifetime for me.

My guess is that it may be available to live stream.

Only goat I have ever eaten was Antelope. Don't care for it nearly as much as ELK.

I used work with a woman from Barbados who would bring in curry goat to have for lunch. She let a co-worker and myself sample some of it and we both loved it. After that she would always bring in a Tupperware container for each of us whenever she cooked up a batch.

The whole quail thread has been funny for me, as I had a friend back in my teen days whose father owned a quail farm.

Large quantities of quail chicks were kept in round screen enclosures -- what a sight! You couldn't attach yourself to one,
though, as the idea behind the farm was that it was out "in the sticks" as we said back then, and, when proper-sized,
they were released into the surrounding woods where hunters paid the farmer to "hunt" them.

I guess in my younger days I hunted/ate about every game native to Florida. We don't really have any big game here but lots of varmits.
Me and a bud used to go frog gigging and fishing a lot, then fry them up over a campfire. Other times camping and bagging quail, dove, rabbits etc. Never was much into deer hunting after seeing some of the idiots that shoot everything that moves, including people.

These days I just take pleasure in seeing them come out of the woods to forage on my property. My place gets pretty busy in deer season.

That must be awesome. The most I see in my garden is a hedgehog a couple of times a year.

LOL, in suburban Massachusetts we see a deer in the woods and immediately think Lyme disease(which is endemic in our area).
