Around my place, it’s boom or bust on quail. Some years there are several coveys, and some years there are few to none. This years is pretty bleak. Pheasants are a rarity on a good year. I generally see a few but not a huntable population.
When I was a kid and we came to my grandparents for Thanksgiving and Christmas, we always bird hunted on family land around Jet. In those day (late 70’s to mid 80’s), there were always a ton of birds (quail and pheasant) but few deer. It sure seems to be reversed now.
