Fire ant have really dropped the numbers of quail in the area, hell they even are taking out cottontail nests also. Found a cottontail nest that "had" 3-4 babies in it but the fire ants got them.

Hatches I saw seem to have around 10 birds or so each. As far as turkey we have had an over abundance the last two years so I am sure there is plenty. I hate the corn pirates besides during spring turkey season. As far as where our place is We are off of hwy 70 south of Clairmiont a few miles. We have had no cattle on our place for 2 plus years and everything is great cover to nearly to thick. We had 80 acres get burned accidentaly this year and it looks great we will probablly do a controlled burn next year on a half section or so.

The only burn I am familiar with is the 4500 acres that burned where 70 meets 380. You are in a good area. I have been there since 1990 and really enjoy the area. I am getting good reports from the ranch hands.

Good deal. We will be in the NW corner of Kent on the Dickens line. Looks like they just received a some rain last night from left over Dolly. That should help them get through this heat.
Of course, last year we saw quite a few in Sept and then when quail season came, they dissappeared.

at my location yes. we run several pivots on a regular basis so left over water in the tracks seems to keep them going.

Man I am depressed. All this talk of chicks everywhere and I have yet to see any. I see pairs almost daily at my water hole, but no babies. Last years saw lots, but not this summer so far.

We are finally starting to see a few more blues. Enough I think to finally lease out the quail for the first time out there. We have seen a few Bobs, but far and few between. We have seen the "Scaled quail", I thought they were Bobs, but I was corrected.
