Quail Hunting
The Circle Bar Quail Hunting Difference
The Circle Bar Ranch owner Jerry Bob Daniel has been developing a unique Quail Hunting program over the last 25 years. Jerry Bob is a lifelong Cowboy and West Texas rancher that has always had a unique passion for Quail hunting and native wildlife conservation efforts. For many years, quail hunting was only done on this ranch with him and a few close friends. Over the years, Jerry Bob has taken a holistic view on wildlife conservation efforts here in the Rolling Plains of North West Texas. He manages his land to achieve a strong and healthy balance between Quail, Turkeys, Deer and other native game species success. While always careful to not over graze a field with cattle, a preferred method of his conservation efforts is Brush Sculpting. Not to be confused with grubbing, where land is stripped of mesquite trees and over growth to later establish agricultural farming. Brush Sculpting allows for wildlife to have different zones of habitat within a given field. An example of this would be an area for the Quail to nest in for safety and security, forage or eat, and an escape area of protection from various predators. Therefore, a conservation area in a given field is broken down into different zones of habitat. In short, a holistic approach to wildlife management means a balanced ecosystem that helps all native game species flourish.
Over the last several years, Jerry Bob Daniel and his ranching operation have worked closely with Dr. Dale Rollins and the Rolling Plains Quail Research Ranch. www.quailresearch.org With both financial and ranch resource support. Dr. Rollins is a noted academic authority on Texas Quail Habitat and Conservation. Our ranch is part of the current Scaled/Blue Quail relocation research effort. The goal of this research is to re-establish the Scaled Quail population in our Rolling Plains Region of Texas. Twenty-five years ago, Scaled Quail populations were 50% of the total quail populations over our ranch areas. Today, we primarily hunt West Texas Wild Bobwhite Quail.
​
We offer a limited number of Wild and Non-Wild Quail hunts each season. Serving both the Quail Hunting purist with Wild only hunts and Non-Wild Quail Hunts for the Wing shooting fans that do not mind hunting released birds. We have found these hunts to be very popular and exciting. We do large scale Non-Wild Quail Releases on a limited number of areas through out our large ranch. These hunts are done in the first part of the Quail season. Which occurs in late October to around December 1st of each season.
