Destination: San Angelo, TXNights: 2Group: 4–8Season: November, December, January, FebruaryEstimated: $2,200–$3,400/person
First Shot Outfitters was named Best Wild Quail Hunting in the World in The World's Best Shoot — 100% wild bobwhite and blue scale across 30,000+ leased acres of Central Texas brush country. Hunting is from rigged Polaris UTVs behind 8 finished bird dogs per group; coveys explode 30 yards out and you'd better swing fast. Lodge dinners are mesquite-grilled venison. Decompression: drive 90 minutes east to Cooper's BBQ in Llano for brisket on butcher paper and a Shiner Bock on the porch.

Questions
Wild or pen-raised?
Wild — that's the whole point. First Shot is one of the few Texas operations with enough acreage for true wild bird hunting.
Closest airport?
San Angelo (SJT) commercial; private into Mathis Field. Austin (AUS) is 3 hours and the better hub for groups.
Shotgun rental?
Yes — Beretta and Benelli loaners. Most clients bring their own 20- or 28-gauge.
