Camp Cady WA

We got the 1230 hunt, and are coming from LA, so it isn't a huge drive for us. What time is the early hunt?
I went out to Camp Cady several years back looking for quail hunting spots. I don't think we got into any quail but I do remember seeing a lot of tracks. It seemed like a pretty deserted and barren area, but there was a field or two of some planted crop or cover crop (I'm not much of a farmer lol). If you make the drive all the way out there you might want to try and find some quail either before or after the hunt. Good luck, I hope you guys get into the birds!
Can’t help you with camping or pheasant programs. But I’ve seen a lot of quail and shot a few. They’re down in the dry river near the HQ buildings. Thick brush in there so hunting with a dog is your best bet. If you’re the first one there in the morning you might jump shoot a duck or two on the two ponds. Some years mourning dove are good, others pretty dry. Good luck!
It's been a long long time since I stayed and been there. When I did, I stayed in the headquarters house. The dust there can be literally stifling, so if it's windy you may have a very unfortunately time, and not in a good way. Back then one pond was not huntable, meaning you could not legally hunt it.
As far as the quail, I always saw them between the water and the cover. I never saw big coveys. The quail can be very spread out.
I never saw much as far as pheasant, but then I never looked for or targeted them, so my sightings were rare. If it's a youth hunt, there should be people there to advise, as they want it to be a successful hunt.
They have a bunkhouse there. I am unsure if the public can use it or not, but it might be an option. You will need to check into it. There are-were no private rooms in the bunkhouse, but if your going to spend a night or so there, it gets you inside a building.
Best of luck!

Sweet, and good job fellas! We went 5 for on Saturday. Looks like we even briefly spoke in the parking lot before you guys headed out to hunt. We were in the white Silverado w/the chocolate lab.
