Missouri actually had better Quail numbers this year vs the last several years. My neighbor runs pointers, and said he and a buddy shot 120 birds this season. Nothing like our heydays back 20 yrs ago, but much better than a few years ago.
My Best Quail hunts were all down near Big Spring TX. We always went in late Jan after our Missouri season ended. Knew a guy down there that owned thousands of acres. Had two jeeps set up with built in dog boxes. Never had to hunt singles as we went from one covey to the next. Just got to go for maybe 7 or 8 years. This was maybe 15 years ago. What a blast. Some of the most fun days I’ve ever had hunting.
Edit. We did have a pretty rough winter this year. Had some deep snow that had ice on it. It was down for at least 2 weeks. I’m hoping the Quail survived it ok..

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
