I own one of these:

and I release 375 birds a year.

I have good quail land, and i have about 5 -10 coveys i see on a regular basis (Depends on year and weather), but I don't know if it is because of my hard work, or just good quail environment.

I have done extensive research, and have spent many hours trying to grow birds. I am almost as passionate about quail as fishing.

Almost everything that is being said above is true, and there is very little data on reintroduction of birds, but I believe that you can with hard work have micro environments with good sustainable quail populations, but I spend a lot of time planting grain, maintaining habitat, and harvesting predators.
