[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1716905, member: 40335"] If I remember right the article I read about the decline in bird populations in general were partly due to chemicals that farmers use on crops. I could see where that would play a big part in population declines. But what makes me wonder about the chemical theory is that I ocassionly will see two or three quail when i am cutting or brush hogging fields that I usually spray from time to time. We don't have wild pheasants here. 40 years ago we had a fair amount of quail. It wasn't unusual to see big covies of quail. Alot of people quail hunted back then too. Back then you could hear quail whistling just about anywhere you went during the day. Now when you hear one whistle it is mostly going to be in wooded areas. Seems like they thrive there better for some reason. It is a mystery to me as to what has happened to their decline. I think since their aren't many people trapping that probably has a little to do with their decline. [/QUOTE]
