Quail Populations Stable in Major Range with Drought Hit Areas
Conservation officers report Iowa quail numbers are about the same as last year in main range while drought damaged the crop in southwestern and south central regions. Best hunting could occur in southeastern Iowa where rainfall supported reproduction but margins counties may still hold birds locally. Hunters warn that overall dry cover hampers dogs and finding birds across the season.
