I am in MO. and I don't see near as many quail as I remember seeing when I was a kid. The turkeys in this area are booming and I have heard several people say that they push the quail out. I have even heard a guy say he saw a video showing turkeys eating baby quail like grasshoppers. We have a lot of fescue around here and from what I have read, that is hard for the quail to move through. But the area I grew in is mostly farm ground and they seem to be harder to find in the past few years. The Mo. Dept. of Cons. seems to be more interested in turkeys than quail, but they also make a lot more money from the turkeys and they are NOT afraid to make money. I know there are a lot of variables but I wondered what you all thought. 935
