How Far Can Quail Fly
Sportsmen discuss quail flight range. With a brisk tailwind a full grown quail can exceed a mile, possibly far more. Across the Missouri River some cross in two flights, others in a single flight before exhaustion. Average limit without wind influence is about a mile, with exhausted birds occasionally falling into the water. Likely young birds falter on long crossings.
