Rio Piedra Plantation
The heart of Southern plantation
quail hunting lies in a vast expanse of wiregrass and tall pines that stretches from Albany, Georgia, to Tallahassee, Florida, and encompasses the broad reaches of the Flint River basis. Wingshooters from across the country have been traveling to this region for more than a century to partake in the ultimate “gentleman’s sport.” Even though many of the antebellum plantation homes have succumbed to fire or age and the pure-wild-bird hunting of yesteryear has been dramatically reduced, the true essence of Southern-style
quail hunting still lives deep in the heart of Dixie.
