If I had a dollar for everyone of those I have missed I could buy a nice Parker! The wild variety that is!

Farming pretty much destroys most of the quail habit here . Our plantation was 3,800 acres until a farmer bought it , bulldozed everything and planted corn . |

we occasionally had them get loose and they would breed out in the woods and some survived as you can see them in the autumn still about . |

Usually they dont get to the point of laying eggs but we put them on vitamins and they ended up getting quite larger than they had previous seasons and we had so many birds left over they started to lay eggs . We had flight pens full of quail eggs that season . |

Thanks Milton for your post. This is why I love the PGCA and this post in particular. In addition to getting interesting information, occasionally you can have a little fun with it.

Then after that I eventually went to work for the plantation itself driving the horse carriage and I got to handle and shoot some fine shotguns like that 20g Purdey . |

I am envious of your plantation experiences. I too grew up when quail were plentiful and had good dogs at that time. What joyous days afield we had. As a high schooler my whole year was aimed at November 20 (the opening day of quail season in Georgia at that time). Maybe in another life we can relive those days.
