Quail Forever's 2008 Quail Hunting Forecast

- September 10 -

Bobwhite quail numbers across the board are mixed depending on location and weather conditions, but generally speaking appear to be stable or slightly better than last year, when drought coupled with the declining availability of habitat gave the birds a double whammy. However, looking at the larger picture, bobs still remain a bird in severe decline due first and foremost to massive losses of suitable habitat.
