When training dogs over pen raised quail that I've bought and missed a shot, I've used a quail call to relocate them so I can get the dog back on them. I think the one I have is either a Knight & Hale or a Quacker Boy. It's just a wooden call and probably wasn't over $15. And yes, it did work well. But, I've never used it on wild quail, just the single pen raised ones that tried to get away.
