Lance-in my capacity as a DNR employee (formerly of the wildlife unit for 20 years) I suggest you feel free to contact our upland game bird biologist (Bob Long, ) so you may more fully address your concerns.

The issues associated with quail populations, habitat, hunting, etc.  are well know to the Department. 

Thank you.

Do you care if there is an open season on quail?
   I think that one of the great responses I received about
our bobwhite crisis is that "if DNR has statistics of [quail]
population estimates" then where are they finding this info?
   It is my understanding that the State of MD has put
this species "AT RISK."
   Maybe not on Sunday evening - but why can't we shake
our government's awareness of this hypocritical legislature
action tomorrow?
   Best wishes,
Lance
