In my part of GA we had good wild quail hunting up into 1990, in selected locations. Pretty much gone, now. We stumble into a covey occasionally while woodcock hunting.
A close friend who owns about 1100 acres near me has managed it for quail for the last 8-10 years. He has a few coveys of wild birds, but releases 2300 each year, in coveys, in late August. By Thanksgiving those birds are so wild they often won't hold for a point. I hunt with him two or three times a season, and am always impressed by how wild they have gotten. Some even survive, nest and raise. I've seen the little ones in the late spring/early summer, ofttimes. That pair of 16s would be right at home down he'ah. Nice job, Brian. SRH |

I think another problem quail hunting faces is its not easy to get new hunters involved with it because of the cost . |

I think folks need to rethink the relation between predator and prey.. If there are too many predators, and they overeat the prey, and the number of prey declines, naturally the predators will also be diminished. Back and forth. Look a changes/reductions in habitat
