That is too bad John. We certainly have fewer birds than when I was a kid hunting with my grandpa (mid-50s now). Of course, all the farm machinery was much less efficient then....every time they made a turn while harvesting there would be scattered grain all over the ground. These new combines are too good at grabbing every kernel/bean.

We have tried to manage and have a good amount of cover but the fescue is a constant pain and we have tons of hawks that love the taste of quail. We are still able to do a number of good hunts each year fortunately and are working on some additional habitat projects this winter and spring.

Also John....can you tell me how to attach the "I Subscribe" logo to the bottom of my posts? I can't figure it out in the "edit profile" or any other section of the forum. After all, I do subscribe to PB! Thanks.
