Welcome This is our story

Sinkola is located in Thomasville, Georgia, in the heart of the Red Hills Region. Known for its rolling hills and red clay soils, the Red Hills are dominated by majestic old-growth longleaf pine forests and abundant wildlife. The Red Hills are also home to a myriad of traditional private quail hunting plantations with the highest densities of wild Bobwhites anywhere in the United States. Here, the Bobwhite is king – and as wild as they come!

The northern Bobwhite quail—with its swift movement, explosive covey bursts, and unpredictable flight—represents the gold standard for upland bird hunters in the United States. The coveys can be large, quick, and awfully humbling to even the most experienced shooter. There’s nothing that compares with the hurried flush of a wild covey. Wings wildly beating as a covey rises over perfectly motionless pointed dogs is an experience you will never forget – and an image you will want to relive over and over.

David has been working for Sinkola since 1989. He has been driving the wagon since 1990. He is excellent with the mules and invaluable as a tractor driver in the off season. While nobody will accuse David of being a “chatter box”, he is an excellent listener and very knowledgeable in all facets of the hunt. David always goes above and beyond to make sure our hunters are taken care of on the wagon.
