So, growing up in Virginia, it was illegal to hunt quail in the snow. The assumption was that it was unfair. When I got to Missouri and could hunt quail in the snow, I discovered they were right, it is unfair…to the hunter!

The main reason for not being able to hunt quail in the snow in Virginia was in my opinion the road hunters, who would ride around and find coveys roosted on the side of the road, maybe under a cedar, and shoot into the whole covey. And when the snow was partially gone and we couldn't wait any longer we always wondered if the game warden would disagree with us about the legality of hunting with some snow left.
