Austin announces that about 20 000 quail will be distributed this year by the Texas Game Fish and Oyster Commission with most birds planted across the state. Birds originate from Mexico and are sold to sportsmen who pay half the cost. Additional thousands will be released on quail restoration areas funded by Pittman Robertson and state efforts, with over fifty areas already in place and more planned to year end.
