How is Bird Hunting in your area? (Quail)

We had some mighty good quail hunting here in North Mississippis when I was growing up. The birds have seemed to go the way of the Buffalo 'in my area' these days...

Our wild turkeys are back too. (plenty) Never had many when I was kid, (away from the Mississippi River Levee area)... They seem to be everywhere in my area now. I sure miss the birds (quail)....

Have not seen quail around here since 1998. Use to have plenty of coveys of them to scare the crap out of us when walking across a field.

the TWRA brought the turkeys back in and have several around. Kind of funny how they move around and have travel routes they use.

We also have lots of turkeys; we see them everywhere.  I'm not a hunter, but looking at the statistics from the NC Wildlife Commission, populations of bobwhite quail are low compared to previous years, but we have enough that there is still a season to hunt them.  At our previous property I heard a male bobwhite calling very close by once.  I whistled back to him and he answered me, although I never saw him.  Even when our populations were higher, we never had an abundance of quail in the mountains, as they are more of a field bird, but we used to have grouse, and their populations are also low, so there is a lot of focus on managing habitat for them.
