Tell us a bit about the browns, do they get big coveys? same habitat as the calis? Do you know if you can raise them? Do the hold or fly better than Calis? I wonder if they would survive down, here. Calis do fine apart from the predators. Might be a bit too cold for the aussie ones??

the biggest coveys i find are about 10 bird max, i do most of my hunting in sand dunes but do also find them in the forest, bush edges and gorse. Not sure how far sth they are but i do know they populate the lower nth island and fuck yea they hold for pointing dogs, my dog has held point on them for up to 30 mins and 1-2 mtrs in front of him, i could see them sitting in the marrom grass in front of him. If you look in the pen in my pics you will see a bird that was using for breeding

Nice to see a few upland pics, I wish our pheasant season was longer that 2 days here. Enough quail to keep us busy though, will have to get more pics next seaon
