A JOURNEY THROUGH QUAIL COUNTRY OF THE DEEP SOUTH

A short exposé on my introduction to the heritage of southeastern quail

With an open mind, I journeyed through America’s remaining plantations – towering pines, manicured grasses, and genteel manners were prevalent at each stop.

These plantations are filled with history and prestige, but their modern uses are akin to exclusive golf courses rather than vestiges of the country’s past.

From the Black Belt of Alabama to the Dog Men of Georgia and onto the bear range of Florida, my experience was filled with enlightenment.

This part of the county is steeped in refined traditions that have gone unchanged for generations – bird dogs, quail, and the plantations of the deep South.
