Any quail sightings, what areas ?
I saw a healthy looking covey of birds yesterday in Ross county, probably 15 to 18 birds. Good to see a few made it through two tough winters. Bad winters and less habitat----- birds just can't seem to get a break.
Good luck and Good hunting

I saw them this year in Fayette county. Disappointed that this is the first year in the 3 that I have lived hear in Warren county that I have yet to hear one. Not sure if it was the last 2 winters or the f@$!ing cats that are out here. If my neighbors weren't decent people that problem would of been solved already, unfortunately now I'm relying on the coyotes to do my dirty work

Update, ive been hearing one calling at the back end of my property along a fence line that borders a neighbors horse pasture. Seems to like to hang in my high grass that borders a bean field behind me and horse pasture to the other side. At least one made it, I'm sure he has buddies

If you hear a Bobwhite just call him in.Something my Grandad taught me when I was a kid.I sure hope they make a comeback.They were everywhere until that Storm of 77-78' and that did them in.

Bingo! There were lots of quail up here in NE Ohio until those two awful, back to back Winters. Temps of 20 below, and snow up to your butt will do that to a small bird. When you think about it quail are really a southern bird, but I sure did enjoy them. How's that for a pro "global warming" sentiment?

Lucky you, beaver! And like Roscoe said, when I was a kid we'd hear bobwhites calling behind the house. My Dad would go out there and whistle to them and get them to come in.
