Bobwhite quail shooting range
Bobwhite quail hunting has a long history that is both egalitarian and aristocratic. The plantation gentry rides their pedigreed point dogs and relies on walking horses to hunt the birds. On the other hand, farm kids use a shotgun and a rangy mutt. No matter what the social standing, the game is fun for all. Although the bobwhites are one of America's most popular wildlife species, their numbers are on the decline.
There are still excellent bobwhite hunting areas, despite the recent decreases in their numbers. There are still excellent hunting opportunities in the Red Hills area near the Florida/Georgia border and the southern plains. Pessimists find it difficult to hunt. There is still hope. In the meantime, the Game Commission has a new plan to restore habitat for bobwhites.
Bobwhite quail
The northern bobwhite quil has many cover options throughout its range. In the eastern Panhandle, it is found in riparian and scrub oak woodland. It also occupies mesa slopes above rivers, and is found in riparian forests. It lives in open pinelands and mesquite, savannas, as well as upland regions. In South Carolina, it prefers to live in open pineland and early successional environments. They also favor brood-rearing cover made up of diverse communities of erect annual forbs, and bare ground between trees and stems.
The bobwhite quail is found in the southeast United States. It can be found in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and eastern Mexico. Although Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa and Iowa are considered the modern bobwhite strongholds by most, they can fluctuate in population and be affected greatly by extreme cold and drought conditions. In certain areas, a severe storm or late winter can wipe out entire broods.
