What is Quail Forever all about?
Founded in 2005 in response to the continuing decline of the Bobwhite quail populations, Quail Forever is dedicated to the protection and enhancement of quail and other wildlife populations through habitat improvement, public awareness and education, and land management policies that benefit private landowners and wildlife alike. QF's parent company, Pheasants Forever, has in 20 years grown to more than 100,000 members and 600 chapters while spending more than $145 million on habitat projects encompassing more than 3 million acres in North America.
At the heart of Quail Forever is a unique grassroots system of fundraising and project development that allows members to see the direct result of their contribution. Virtually 100% of all the funds raised by the chapters, exclusive of membership fees, remain with the chapter. Those funds are expended on habitat projects, public awareness and education programs, and land management policy initiatives. In fact, 91 cents of every dollar raised by Quail Forever goes directly towards the QF mission, making Quail Forever the most efficient conservation organization in the nation.

I own some land and I want to work on habitat. Who can I talk to about this?
Contact either your local Quail Forever Regional Wildlife Biologist or contact one of the Quail Forever Habitat Teams for in-ground assistance. (Click here for a list of the habitat teams.)
Where can I find information on stocking quail?
In the past 50 years, conflicting views have fueled debate over the effectiveness of stocking pen-reared quail to increase wild quail populations. Most often, sportsmen have been on one side of this debate, wildlife biologists the other. This frustrates professional wildlife managers because stocking of pen-raised birds is not an efficient means to increase wild bird populations. Developing and enhancing habitat, on the other hand, has proven to help increase quail numbers.
By definition, "stocking" is the release of pen reared birds into habitat where wild birds already are present. "Introductions" or "transplants" are different. These refer to the release of birds into areas where birds are not generally present, using management that has been studied very thoroughly. For additional information on Quail Stocking please contact your local Wildlife Biologist or contact Quail Forever at 1(877) 45-QUAIL (457-8245) for information.
I am a Quail Forever chapter officer and I don't know how to access the Chapter Services page.
Access is granted only to the Chapter Committee members, an email sent to the QF Webmaster to request the login ID and password.
No - The Habitat Cooperator signs mean that the landowner is working with Quail Forever to establish habitat. However, it does not mean that the land is open to public hunting. Always contact the landowner to ask permission to hunt on his/her land.
Please contact your local state Department of Natural Resources for information on public hunting land.
When does hunting season begin?
Please contact your local state Department of Natural Resources for information on a particular state's hunting season.
Where do I find additional information on quail for a school project?
Please check out our Quail Hunting section on our web site or contact your local Quail Forever Regional Wildlife Biologist.
How do I find information on my local banquet?
Please contact your local chapter president. Because of privacy concerns, we have chosen not to list their names on our web site. If you do not know the name of your chapter officer or the name of your local chapter, try our Find a Chapter page. You can also contact Quail Forever at 1(877) 45-QUAIL (457-8245) and we will put you in touch with the regional wildlife biologist in charge of your region or contact us using our online form.
Will Quail Forever be competing with Quail Unlimited?
It's clear that quail need help, and our goal is to do the same thing for quail that we've done for pheasants and pheasant hunters. It's not our intent to compete with Quail Unlimited, but we do recognize that there may be occasions where individuals will have to choose between organizations.
In a perfect world, we'd love them to join both. However, most hunters and conservationists have more passion for one species than another. The great thing is that no matter whether they choose Pheasants Forever or Quail Forever, they can be assured that they're contributing to an organization that has a significant impact on local habitat and a strong voice at the national level.
Did Pheasants Forever pursue a merger with Quail Unlimited and why did that merger not occur?
When we made the decision to build on our success with pheasants by helping improve quail habitat, it was natural for us to first approach Quail Unlimited about joining forces. After a few discussions, both groups determined that it would be difficult to merge the two organizations based on the different operating models. That said, quail can use all the help they can get and we felt that it was best to continue to pursue our own efforts using the successful Pheasants Forever chapter empowerment and habitat improvement model.
