Happy to report there was a covey of about 12 quail beside my son's barn this afternoon. Probably feeding on the weed seeds in the cattle paddock. They flushed and scared my son and couple landed in a tree near by. I even seen them hiding in the tree leaves.
That's the 1st quail we've seen on the farm in over 20 yrs. When I bought the farm in 1991 there was 2 coveys in different pastures. Then couple hard winter and didn't see or hear any for 20 yrs. My son did hear some in the spring.
Even though my farm is a register quail hunting farm with the State I won't permit anyone to hunt them.
Glad their making a comeback.
