I have been to this Oak Grove Unit of San Felipe WA....More quail at San Felipe WA on S-2 and it's open everyday during quail season.....Special dove hunts too. Of which, there's very few of them as well.

I do agree that DFW has the right idea on some these smaller units.

Gotcha. I was just confused, thinking why couldn't anyone just show up and hunt it without applying, if the WA were open anyway. Makes sense.

Sad part is when this was being farmed by Ag Empire, there were lots of dove, quail, deer, and even turkeys (ponds on the prop too)......Since DFW took it over, they've let it go back to natural habitat.....Maybe, it's gotten better in the last year.....

I was just going to ask you Steve if there is still a water source...I remember that pond.
