Introducing the Northern Bobwhite Quail – theHunter: Call of the Wild - Mississippi Acres Preserve. So-named after its distinctive calls, this staple game avian is found widespread across parts of Mexico and most of the Eastern USA. Bobwhite quails are gregarious and live in groups called coveys most of the year. Like other species of quails, bobwhite quails hide in thick vegetation when they feel threatened and need to be flushed out by hunters. Their mottled plumage is well adapted for this st

The Northern Bobwhite lives in grasslands and woodlands of eastern North America. Easy to hear, but difficult to spot, the bobwhite is most often identified by its loud, whistling call. Wild populations of bobwhites have declined over the past 50 years, but conservation-minded landowners are now restoring and preserving habitat for these birds across their range.

Quail-ly cool research! 🤩 Private Land’s BQI staff have been helping UGA researchers continue a multi-year project to learn more about Northern Bobwhite habitat use on the Quail Focal Area WMAs. As part of this effort, researchers are attaching radio collars to up to 50 birds per property in the fall and spring. This research will add to our knowledge and provide better recommendations to managers who are working to improve public land hunting opportunities for quail in the state. #BobwhiteQuai
