there very few wild quail left here in north mississippi.in aall of my hunting and being outdoors this season i have only seen i small covey and iwas in my car driving and they flew acrossthe road in front of me. in my opinion chemicals predators loss of habitathawks and such have taken there share of the quail. some one posted a statment i read the other day that got me to thinking in a differnt way. he stated that several years back that chickens had got infected with some kind of viruss that killed them by the thousands.he said they had avery large phezant population.soon they found phezantsdead by the hundreds.in a few years they had no phezants to hunt. all had been killed by this chicken flu. so if phezants could die from the chicken flu. maybe the quail also have caught this same flu. what do you guys think. sure would like to seea few quail again. i did not hear a bobwhite whistle this past spring. charlie
