Stocking Quail Expensive and Inefficient in Kansas
A Kansas study of the Forestry Fish and Game Commission banding program shows stock quail yield only 2 percent recovered from fall releases and about 1 to 7 percent from spring releases. With 55 000 quail released, only about 825 may reach hunters, costing over $55 000 yearly. Mortality high and reproduction insufficient to sustain stocking. A biologist will be hired July 1 to improve survival and utilization.
