This is a 100-percent southern plantation-style hunt, complete with world-class pointers and retrievers, and one experienced guide for two shooters. At Red Bank there is diverse terrain -- rolling hills, thickets of oak trees, dense Manzanita and grasslands -- to challenge all skill levels. For those will physical challenges there are flat courses.

Try your hand at wild valley quail. At Red Bank we get after these hearty native upland birds "Texas-style." The season is limited under California law during October through January and demand for this short season is high.

Valley quail are hunted on a magnificent 5,000-acre ranch just north of Red Bank. Groups of up to four are guided out of utility vehicles to cover the vast terrain offered in such a magnificent environment. This perhaps the ultimate test of a hunter's quickness and shooting ability.
