Quail Hunting in Maryland, a look back

[Gary Laudermilch]

When I was in college in southern PA in the late 60's we hunted birds on nearby farms. The primary target was pheasants but we seemed to move as many quall. No dog then but we had no trouble finding them. Pheasants were not overly abundant in that locale but just 60 miles north and it was reversed. Hordes of pheasants and but an occasional covey of quail. Sadly both are gone now and have been for some time. The last of the good pheasant hunting was in the late 70's and no quail could be found.
