We had a really good hatch this year at home with our quail. While out checking trail cams I flushed 5 different family groups plus we have 3 groups coming into the yard to the bird feeders. Had a male and 7 little fuzzy golfballs here last night. I'm hoping the turkey's done just as well. J

Same here. In the 70's we heard them every morning and hunted a few. In the 80's they all disappeared. Same with ring neck pheasants. I don't know what happened but it's about the same time farm machinery was getting bigger and farmers were cutting down the hedgerows that used to separate fields and farms. We, and a bunch of others, raised quail and pheasants for a few years to try to help bring them back but it didn't work.
During the same time, we got turkey and groundhogs. I had never seen either as a kid, we're over run with both now.

I have never saw a Michigan quail in my 25 years. There is usually a covey or two on the farms I hunt in west central Illinois. Cool little birds but just not enough cover around here to support them.

The “unacceptable word” in the above post was the name for a MALE quail, lol. Bobby?
