Texas Game Fish and Oyster Commission reports ongoing quail restoration projects in multiple counties, with a brush shelter at Bryan Ranch near Benavides attracting nesting quail.

Officials warn against dynamiting fish in Terrell, Crockett, and Pecos Counties while hatcheries plan to stock 4 million fish across state waters. An experiment in breeding tame and wild ducks near Dimmitt yields unusual offspring staying near birth site.
