[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1276603, member: 14544"] Numbers are nothing like they used to be around here either. I saw a single covey of 50 birds last year, didn't see another covey the entire winter that I remember. Used to scare up 2 to 3 coveys just walking to a deer stand. I have a lot of self derived conspiracy theories. I can't help but think that the change in management around has hurt them some- lot more bermuda than there used to be and less bluestem. I used to really enjoy hunting a good bluestem pasture. Less weeds in general due to modern spraying. More predators- nobody kills hawks like they used to, there's an overload of coyotes. I can't help but think the release of all these smaller flighty birds didn't change the survivability of the old larger bob whites that would out run you more than stick and fly. Always wondered if a disease didn't play a roll as well. Either way, I'd like to just see it once more like the good old days. [/QUOTE]
