Quail Hunting:
Groups of two or three will be the shooters over a champion dog.  The transportation to the game is by tractor pulled wagon or a custom “limo” open jeep.  Once the dog is on point, two or three hunters will walk up to the dog and set up as the shooters.

About Colvin and Mazie Davis:

Class Bird Dogs Make the Difference:

 No where will the bird dogs and retrievers give you a bigger thrill than at this lodge.  You’ll be hunting over some of the finest bird dogs in the country.  Superbly trained and handled by your host, Field Trial Hall of Famer, Colvin Davis and his wife Mazie Davis.  Watching these exciting dogs canvas the country then pin point covies is what quail hunting is all about.  All their dogs are steady to wing and shot.  They’ll hold their exciting pointing posture as the birds flush giving you the peace of mind to focus on your shooting.  The retrievers will do the work of flushing the birds and finding your shot birds.

Hunter Safety Course:

A Hunter Safety Course is required for those born on or after August 1, 1977

Enjoy this clients explanation of his hunt at Davis Quail:

“This venue has something for everyone: Great Birds, Southern Hospitality at its best, Nice comfortable lodge, Great Southern cooking, etc

Unlimited birds is almost unheard of in today’s bird hunting venues.  Not at Davis Quail Hunts.”

The way they hunt: a person, usually Mazie heads out on horseback with the pointers. A guide/driver follows, usually Colvin, loads the hunters into the wagon and pulls the  hunters (with flushing dogs, kenneled rested pointing dogs, gun rack, cooler for water and snacks) in a custom wagon/trailer.  When the dogs go on point with Mazie, the trailer pulls up, hunters get into position and get loaded up and Colvin sends in the flushing dog.  Bang Bang Bang. while the birds are being retrieved, Mazie heads out again, she finds another covey from horseback and the process starts over again.

So it is one covey after another –  3-6 coveys an hour are common..   You are welcome to walk if you want the exercise – sort of like playing golf and taking the golf cart or walking the course.

A break for a home cooked lunch and you are ready for the afternoon hunt.

Habitat is the key to any hunting operation.  The Davis Lodge spends as much time grooming the habitat to be Quail friendly (food plots, plentiful water, exceptional cover for hiding from predators, trails for the jeep) as they do grooming the best hunting dogs in the South.  Colvin is a dog trainer of over 40 years and a “Field Trial Hall of Fame” recipient.   Like the Football Hall of Fame – he is the Best of the Best and his dogs reflect that.

An exciting experience to watch and participate in.

Very safe, very controlled and a Bunch of Fun.   This style of hunting is great for veteran quail hunters, or inexperienced kids, wives, or families just learning. Cindy learned to Quail hunt here.”

After the hunt, you are invited to relax in the warm and inviting private lodge with accommodations for up to eight overnight guests. The lodge sits on a hill overlooking the surrounding countryside. It offers a roomy relaxation area or you can enjoy the expansive covered porch. The lodge has a unique combination of rustic and elegant decor designed with hunting guests in mind.

After your hunt, sit and visit around the outside fire pit or enjoy the cookhouse which includes a bar area and another fire pit for cold evenings. If you must bring your computer, they offer Wi-Fi.

The day isn’t over until you’ve experienced a tantalizingly delicious home-cooked southern meal! Only then can you kick back and watch the sun set to the sweet sound of the bobwhite quail calling.

Most guests stay 1-3 nights.
