Joining Quail Forever is certainly a good start. That and encouraging state fish and game departments to promote quail populations. We have an excellent program in Missouri and the other day Charlie Herzog mentioned that he was finding wild coveys on the eastern side of the state. We do well in the western side and even better on the Great Plains. The best thing a person can do is to become involved. The birds can come back. And shoot those nasty furry things that eat quail. They are pretty good at escaping winged predators.
