Default West Virginia Bobwhite Quail Restoration Project
Very interesting read regarding efforts being made in West Virginia. Note that the birds they released were from Texas. I also just read an article in the most recent issue of Garden & Gun regarding the decline of quail in West Texas and some work being done there to restore quail populations. I sure wish them success!

Reggie, I'd seen this announcement (thanks for posting). Interesting that they are getting birds from Texas. For those interested, check out the Rolling Plains Quail Research Foundation website (www.quailresearch.org). Dale Rollins at RPQF has done some groundbreaking research on quail, including discovering various parasites that impact populations (and linked to the article in G&G you mention). I hope they don't end up sending eye worms, etc. from Texas to West Virginia.
