Found Any Wild Quail
It seems to be that wild quail have not been seen in most parts of the south for sometime. I have seen more and hear them call in the last 2 years than i have seen in a long time. i used to hunt alot of public land and did not find any for along time.
HAS ANYONE BEEN HUNTING ON PUBLIC LAND AND FOUND QUAIL?

I see an occasional covey in south Bama and N W Fl, but they are geting few and far between. Most of the people I know that like to shoot quail go with the pen raised birds. One grower I heard of raised close to 240,000 birds last year.

There are rumored to be quail here in VA, but IMHO they've probably mostly disappeared on public land because of the rapidly changing landscape. There are places here where you can hunt them on private preserves, though.

RE: Found Any Wild Quail
I guess it all depends on what part of the south you are asking about. I assume we are considered a part of it in Oklahoma?
We had a great year here. It got real dry towards the end of the season, but we still managed to do well inspite of it all!
One more day left of the season.....wont be home till dark!
