So that's basically a quail farm.

What happened to them? First, nobody really farms in Alabama anymore. You just have pockets here and there. In addition if you do farm and for years your practice was to turn the crop residue under after harvest there is no bean stubble for them to run around in.

Fire ants, hawks, etc.

Result = Fewer quail.

Times have changed. Hope you got a few good hunts, but it will never be like it was.

No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
