Quail releasings aid Iowa wild population efforts

Fourteen Iowa quail clubs stock 4,750 day old chicks from the state farm near Boone, released in coveys of 10 to 20 after eight weeks. Farmed birds are posted for a year to nest undisturbed. Widely observed nesting quail indicate strong populations after two decades. A Cedar Rapids dealer reports a red letter fishing day with an 18 inch bass and 21 inch catfish from the Wapsi River near Waubeek.
