Hey Charlie, I read an article in some paper or magazine about 10 or 15 years ago where the game commission here in Virginia did a study on Quail. They took a piece of land about 400 to 600 acres and did a count on how many Quail there were in there. Then they did a count on how many what they call nest busters (skunks, possums, raccoons, foxes) were in there. Then they trapped a certain percentage of the nest busters out. The next year they said the Quail population jumped 250 percent. I have even heard of wild Turkeys eating young Quail when they first come out of the nest. Everything out there thinks that Quail taste good. Mike
