I used to hunt quail here back in the 1960s and 1970s, but by 1982 or so, they had all but disappeared around here. They did not inhabit the kind of fence rows I had, as there wasn't a lot of Japanese honeysuckle around here then. The rise of fescue grasses and overgrazing, together with non native predators, contributed to their demise. Once in a great while I see or hear a quail.
