I hear Northern Bobwhite in Amelia County where I am doing the Breeding Bird
Atlas. There are fallow fields and hunting. One Bobwhite territory can back up
to another and they call back and forth.

Wild animals a dependent on habitat. If they have good habitat in their range
they will thrive. Limited hunting won't matter. Hunting limits should be
based on science.
A program that bring farmers, hunters and bird watchers together will have
real political power to succeed.
Hunting has brought us federal wildlife refuges and state wildlife management
areas which have been great for ducks and shorebirds. Check out a State WMA
with a pass and see.

I don't see the 5 parts but the almost 7 minute film was good. I was in
Harrodsburg, KY birding at the Shaker Village and they talked about their
efforts for the Bobwhite. The only problem with a more northern site is the
birds do not survive the winters well. They had 55 quail in the fall and
only 12 in the spring. AND then they let people go and hunt them. That
just does not make sense.
