RE: Covey's
i live in north texas and bobwhites are plentiful. ive seen 5-almost 50 in a covey and they love the thick stuff. ive also hunted in west texas and blue(scaled) quail are more around that area. ive seen 4-damn near 100 in a single covey and they prefer thick cover too when the damn things aint running there butts off. hopes this help ya.
