Nope i never received the item that he refers to "talky-thing Jez gave you" apparently that is how you turn it in and get the next quest.

EDIT: Thats correct Khalya, i turned off my quest addon and it appeared fine. Thanks for the info!

Description

I've been eatin' owls my whole life. Owls is good eatin', and my friend Jez agrees. I was the first one that told him to sell owl! Mister fancy-pants worgen here says bears taste better, but don't pay him no mind. You should go hunt yourself some owl. There's plenty of 'em wandering just south of here. Stick to the gray ones for now, an' buzz me on the little talky-thing Jez gave you when you've racked up a few.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Taste for BearWinterspring · Level 15-30

    Have you ever had the luxury of trying bear meat? I never had the chance to try it in Gilneas, but the bears here are simply exquisite. The shardtooth bears that roam just to the south are well-marbled with fat from the cold here.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fresh FrostsabersWinterspring · Level 15-30

    Doesn't that smell great? My smoked meats get top dollar, and nobody else provides the exotic flavors I've got out here in the hills. And it's efficient; you just do the hunting for a small fee, and my other fine friends drag the beasts back here for skinnin' and smokin'!
