I hunt in the piedmont portion of GA which runs across GA from a little North of Atlanta across the state south of Macon.  Native populations of quail decline has stabilized, but quail populations are still low.  When I was very young I remember responding to quail with the bob white whistle for hours. If you answered, they would answer.  As kids we did this until dusk.  Rarely do I hear the bobwhite whistle in the late afternoon now.  I am grateful for pen birds because a small percentage do survive in the wild.  I really do not know the reasons for quail declines in the south.
