I am totally unfamiliar with places where the state stocks quail for public hunting. It's hard for me to understand how it works, given the pressure from predators we have down here. They must release birds weekly, or on a regular basis, throughout the hunting season.(?) Predator control has to be ongoing here for released birds to survive in any reasonable number, especially for the first few weeks after release.
Does the state attempt to control the predators in those places, or just let 'em have what they want?
