[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2240478, member: 30309"] Like you all, we've introduced and introduced only to have them disappear. Either from predators or moving to better properties. Haven't quail hunted in over 15 years just cause there's not population to sustain a hunt. Last year it seemed things turned for the better. We had several small (4-8 bird) covey's on our property near Crescent and they've managed to stay put. We saw our first Covey in PV this year. Not very big, but hey they are there! Not sure what changed yet. We are emphasizing the predator kills at both places, have been for the past several years. I like to think that has something to do with it. We were talking in passing over the dinner table last night and our oldest asked "why don't we hatch some quail this year?" - couldn't come up with a good reason why not, so we're putting together an incubator, hatcher and building a flight pen. plan on trying our hand with 100 eggs first. Kids are super excited and we can't think of any negatives to doing the project. Great way to give back to the land, as I see it. [/QUOTE]
