[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2241349, member: 5412"] Back in the 70's when one could find a covey in the ditch every quarter of a mile, there was bounty's on coyotes, and fur prices were high enough a trapper could make a living from them. Farmers had small acreages with poor farming practices for the most part, leaving weedy corners and fence rows. They put in wind rows of trees to stop wind erosion in the 30's, that grew up in weeds and grass over vast areas. Now with no-till farming, of thousands of acres, fence rows, and wind rows removed for every last bushel of grain, County's mowing the ditches right during nesting season, it has to have an effect, yet in Osage county, there are millions of acres with the same habitat from the 30's that don't have quail either. Something is going on, and Texas is in no better shape. [/QUOTE]
