they are wild. used to hear their song whilst a wee little one sitting on my grandma's front porch. by the time i was a teenager, they were disappearing. been more than 25 years since we heard/seen any.
me, GrandSlam and Charlie (when we had hunting lease) put a big hurting on the coyotes, fox, possum and coons. i know in my heart that is what helped bring them back.
Congrats on the wild covey. If you want to help them out, plant some lespedeza and Egyptian wheat and plenty of cover. More than any other predators, eliminate all the feral cats you can and if you can do it legally, dissuade the hawks from the quail. You could also PM Link Jones on here for pointers. He works very hard at helping the quail on his place.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.
