[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1200305, member: 4362"] I don't buy your argument about the timber companies for two reasons. I'm in the thick of pine country and have plenty of quail and turkeys. Secondly, it doesn't matter what they do on their property if YOU have the proper habitat since a covey only needs forty acres of suitable habitat to thrive. If you think back to how the land used to be managed when you had a good quail population then you will see little things that are different - the things you did to run them off. These little things are deemed "better agricultural practices" but for quail it is their enemy. If you start addressing these little things and take note of where you do have quail you can see what works and what doesn't. I can't stress how important the little things are. From the timing of mowing to the herbicide you use. Then like CF said, sometimes the weather is just bad and like Hook said the barn cats can do a lot of damage and believe it or not - your deer will eat quail eggs as well. [/QUOTE]
