I had said earlier in the year how many cuvy"s were around the house. Now early in the morning and late evening, it"s that pretty sound. I have sooo many pair's, like never in the 18yrs that i've lived here. Wish i could get a recorder that would pick them up, it's great!!!!!

YEP! Music to my ears.

I have lived in Burnet then San Saba counties for the last 4 years. The first wild quail I've seen (driving, walking, etc.) has been this year. I'm now up to 8 coveys. Amazing what a little rain can do!

I miss the sound of Quail at our place. Pasture is healthier than when we bought it. No broodstock left.

When I move to the farm I'm going to raise quail for two purposes. To eat and to hear them.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

They are active in W. Llano Co. The roosters are up in the trees calling like crazy. Always makes me happy to hear that sound.

This recent rain has the place green, and the bugs thick. Should be a good summer for the birds.

I had plenty when I bought my place 6 years ago but they gradually dwindled out. It'd been a couple of years since I've heard them but I'm hearing plenty this year! Great sound to wake up to.


It's true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance.

They were calling like crazy today up in Montague today. Got there at 4 and left at 8:30 and everywhere I went they were there. Almost ran over a few of them in the overgrown roads. I got some good sound on video I'll post.

Haven't heard that wonderful sound in many years until I got on my new lease in Shackleford Co. Was there just yesterday checking feeder and camera and they were calling constantly. Really great to hear.

I walked up to this guy earlier and he flew off but came right back or had a buddy. You can hear others in the distance. Not bad for less than 2 hours from downtown.

I tell yall. I am glad I hunted in the 70's and 80's in SE Kansas for quail. It was nothing to kill a limit each and every time out. I loved it. But, today is a different day and quail hunting stinks up there. I hope that they return in my lifetime, but if they don't, I can rest in peace knowing that I was once in Quail heaven!

If you ever read Sam Walton's book, he discusses why he chose NE Arkansas as the home for Walmart. He loved quail hunting and SE Ks, SW Mo, NE Ar and NE Ok was a great place to hunt them. His 13th and final Variety Store was actually in my home town of Neodesha, KS. We saw him every season as he came to hunt quail with his buddies in my hometown.

The bob-white sound is cool, but the exploding out from under your feet sound making you nearly fill your britches is not!
