Seeing chic's around Petersburg. Hearing alot of calling. I was talking with a few of the local farmers who said they are seeing quail where they haven't seen them in the last few years.

flushed a young covey of 12 birds just south of the Arroyo Colorado in Cameron County yesterday. I'd say they hatched in late april or may.

I saw another pair of Bobs walking down the road yesterday here in Victoria, Texas. I know this is a good sign.
Help me out on this one. Are they still paired up right now? Does it mean they have had multiple hatches, just curious since it is already September.
Also I hear a lot of calling in the background.

Also I hear a lot of calling in the background. I have seen hatches later than this. A name was created for late hatches flushed during season. They were called bumblebees.

Saw a male walk through my front yard about a month ago. I couldn't believe it, first one I have seen in Palo Pinto County since around 2001. There used to be a ton of them here when I was a kid (90's).

I've seen one bobwhite in ne texas but i'm not convinced that it was wild. They say it's habitat loss/non natives (bermuda) that has caused quail to disappear so that got me curious what mammals are native to bermuda. Turns out Bermuda doesn't have any mammals lol I guess it's all around bad except for a bovines.

Two large coveys our our place. Heard singles call in the last few decades, but hadn't actually seen a bird until last week.

Finally made it to my place in dickens county and was anticipating a serious reduction in population. To my surprise I was blessed with a covey of 15 at my tree stand blind. Not sure if this is a reflection of a good population but it's at least as many as I had last year and will support some limited hunting for me and my best friend Riley.

I counted roughly 30 or so bob whites at my feeder and my buddy had a big covey of Blues at his on the other side of the Mesa from where I'm hunting. Heard a lot of whistling Saturday more to. (Mitchell county.)

I live on the outskirts of town near Victoria Texas. This morning a pair of quail walked past my window and continued on towards the pasture. This is a welcome sign for this year. One of my favorite areas to hunt all the way up to Cuero and down to Port Lavaca. My great Aunt at a place on the bay near Point Comfort. Back in the 70s the only reason you needed a dog was to find them after shooting. She also had almost as many rattlesnakes as quail.
