Title: Land management.
Post by: Bobwhite quail24 on January 25, 2006, 07:14:46 PM

Ok my parents bought our first house, it is on a wooded four acres, half is pine trees, the other half is pretty open hardwood. Ok I am in FFA and am going to raise bobs this spring, well I would like to release some on our property. I kind of plan on plant a small plot of cover in the hardwood part of our woods, I just want to make some cover for the quail, I heard that guinias will help on keeping away hawks, and some predators so I will be getting some of them also, well what kind of plants should I plant for cover and food? I have a gamebird feeder in our back yard so I will put a little bit of food in there. THank you for your help.

This is what I recommend for anyone attempting to establish a "wild" population of quail on a small piece of property. Quail will stay in a 40 acre parcel if they have everything they need there. With a few acres, you better do something to "anchor" them on your property.

P.S. Sorry for ressurecting such an old post, but maybe he's still lurking on here and needs the info.
