Years ago, I did the quail brush pile ,callback bird in a cage,artificial quail covey thing once here in Ms.I grew up in the 60's and 70's hunting quail both with and without a dog and longed to relive this.24 quail were put into this project.I was going to wait 2 weels to get them established in their new home.I began to notice a drop in the quail seen and then I saw the feather piles around the area.Then I saw the hawks.After 2 weeks the only bird was the callback in the cage.That was my last attempt at starting an artificial covey.The last small wild covey has recently disappeared from the area we deer hunt.I havent shot a wild quail in 20 years nor would I if I saw one here.We still have some game preserves with planted quail.And the memories of how it can be.Hugh
