I should have at least carried the air rifle when I went to check my cam. Jumped the covey of quail again. They didn't all flush at once, took about 5-10 seconds for all of them to jump up. It was cool, they were all about 5 yards away or less. Maybe next year. At least I will enjoy the bob-white call during the spring and summer.

That's awesome. I used to hear the call of bob-whites all the time, until a sub-division popped up next to the farm....haven't heard one of them or a whip-poor-will since.

Loss of quail has been a significant event in the hunting community.

To the best of my knowledge nwtf is starting a 10 year program to aid in habitat restoration for quail in Tennessee.
They figured they did a good job with turkeys, why not quail.
Something like impacting 300,000 or 300,000,000 acres. Can't remember the number off the top of my head.

Thats great places to find them. The nastier, thicker, "I dont want to go in there for a pot of gold," thats where they will be.
