At the new place I have a good 2/10th mile walk from the house to my shop. 4th time this week I've flushed a covey of Quail on the way to the shop.
As a relative youngster I had never had the opportunity to even see Quail until recent years; I've definitely never hunted them. I look forward to hunting them.
Sometime in the next year or so I'll be enrolling my 30 tillable acres in CRP programs that will not only enable me, but they will assist me in managing my place for wildlife. With plenty of deer habitat around my goal is to manage for upland game birds with maybe a few legume food plots to draw the deer out of the woods. I'm sure once that gets established I'll be able to hunt some quail without feeling guilty for decimating the population. FWIW the covey I've flushed 4 times now (assuming its the same covey) has ranged from 3-7 birds, so not really an impressive covey size. I hope to correct that.
