加州鹌鹑与石鸡狩猎季10月17日全州开季 渔猎局预计今秋收成良好
Sacramento——加州渔猎局（CDFW）表示，10月17日（周六）起，全州所有鹌鹑种类与石鸡（chukar）同步开季，一般狩猎季持续至2027年1月31日。渔猎局生物学家预计，2026-27年度鹌鹑与石鸡的狩猎前景良好。
加州有三种原产鹌鹑——山鹌鹑、加州鹌鹑与甘贝鹌鹑，几乎全州各地都能找到就近的狩猎点；石鸡原产于亚洲与中东部分地区，1930年代起引入加州，在 Modoc 高原向南至 Mojave Desert、Death Valley 一带的干旱多岩地带扎根。按分区日程，Q1区山鹌鹑已于9月12日开季，Q2区于9月26日开季，本周六起全州统一开放。每名猎人每日可猎鹌鹑10只（种类可组合）、石鸡6只，持有上限为日限额的三倍。
渔猎局依据北美繁殖鸟类调查数据更新的模型显示，2025年山鹌鹑与石鸡数量有所下降，加州鹌鹑与甘贝鹌鹑则略有上升。该局同时推行猎物翅膀回收计划，收集猎人上交的鹌鹑与石鸡翅膀，用于评估种群丰度并指导保护行动。渔猎局提醒猎人事先查阅分区地图与当季规章，确认所在位置适用的开季日期与限额。

California Quail and Chukar Seasons Open Statewide Oct. 17; CDFW Expects Good Hunts
SACRAMENTO — All quail species and chukar opened to hunting statewide on Saturday, October 17, with the general season running through January 31, 2027, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), whose biologists expect good quail and chukar seasons in 2026-27.
California is home to three native quail species — mountain, California and Gambel's quail — with at least one species found in every part of the state. Chukar, native to parts of Asia and the Middle East, were introduced beginning in the 1930s and took hold in arid, steep, rocky terrain from the Modoc Plateau south into the Mojave Desert and Death Valley. Zone Q1 opened for mountain quail on September 12 and Zone Q2 on September 26, before the statewide opener. The daily bag limit is 10 quail in any species combination and six chukar, with possession limits triple the daily bag.
Updated CDFW models using 2025 North American Breeding Bird Survey data show mountain quail and chukar populations declined in 2025, while California and Gambel's quail increased slightly. The department also collects hunter-harvested quail and chukar wings to inform abundance estimates and conservation actions, and it urges hunters to check the zone map and current regulations before heading out.
