What if you've been doing that for 20 years,
and the quail population continues to trend downward?
That has been my experience on a particularly large tract of land.
Call the state wildlife biologist at quail forever...

Now you done it!!!! " you can't kill enough to make difference ".More quail on my places this summer than we have had in 3 decades. Im guessing thats a result of our coyote eradication plan.
If you never built it you won't ever know they were thereThe issue with quail is you have to have quail present in order to get more quail. Whereas with deer/turkeys, it s more of a "if you build it they will come" approach.
I enrolled my property in the short leaf pine initiative and planted hundreds of native shrubs in low land areas. It's not a big piece of property but would be plenty to help support some wild birds. What sucks is I'm only about 2-1/2 miles from Seven islands State birding park and they have a fairly strong bobwhite population there. I wish they'd fly down the river and spread out. Haha.If you never built it you won't ever know they were there
2.5 miles of nothing is a lot for a Bob to cover. I used to live in Seymour and fish out of that ramp. I don't recall much of anything off 7 islands that would halfway pass for habitat.I enrolled my property in the short leaf pine initiative and planted hundreds of native shrubs in low land areas.

There's great cover there now. They have a great prescribed fire plan and that alone is enough to make a bob happy.2.5 miles of nothing is a lot for a Bob to cover.
