[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2132501, member: 5412"] Yeah the quail research has been going on for a long time. Ok partnered with Va. Several years ago, using radios implanted on packsaddle. They got a lot of data about habitat, predation and movement of growing conveys. I think the new study with tx. is about what parasites and disease may be doing to the birds. I personally don't think they have addressed the main problem. Birds are missing from large areas in Osage county that used to be thick with conveys. Nothing has changed in the habitat. The overpopulation of avian predators is a huge issue in the loss of quail imho. I spend a lot of time in the deer stand watching them hunt pheasant and quail. I do remember when the wildlife dept raised and stocked quail, until they figured out most didn't live one year to the next. Nick raised quail at his house. The flight pens are still there. Birds that escaped, made it to my little 22 acre spot. I had awesome quail hunting in there for many years. Now only one small covey in there now of 8 birds. I haven't hunted them for several seasons now. [/QUOTE]
