So cool. I have never actually seen one of those in person. I would love if they made a comeback out here. My dad talks about when they were everywhere out here.

Cool, love the feeder too

Can you give details on the feeder? Is it just a 5 gallon bucket with small holes drilled in at the bottom?

Very cool!

Yes, that is about it. The metal 30 gallon barrels work better. On them you can drill a hole, then insert a screw driver and pry up on the hole. This creates a v shaped roof over the hole for water to run off. Then fill with grain.

Very cool, I miss hunting them

It's a shame they're just about gone from Texas...Only a matter of time,unfortunately.

nice

Never thought I would see a species disappear in my lifetime. Very, very sad.

Neat picture. We have a healthy population this year. I might consider hunting them if I keep seeing 5-8 covies when I make my feed route.

Nice feeder, one like that wouldn't last a day on my leases due to all the hogs.

When I was a kid of say 16, I could take the bird dog out and find 8 to 10 covey just after school, now you are lucky to find one in a 10 hour day, I miss those days. I finally gave up a couple years ago they have all but disappeared here in Oklahoma also.

Move that feeder near some brush. Dive bombing hawks can spot them a mile away.

Awesome

Wow, that brings back wonderful memories. There is nothing I love more than hearing the call of the bobwhite. I have heard the populations are better this year. Hope they continue to increase and don't disappear altogether.

Nice feeder!

Nice pics...been along time since I've seen them too

Beautiful creatures.

Love listening those little critters

So cool
