Bobwhite Quail · State-by-state

Bobwhite Quail hunting regulations.

Northern bobwhite quail are small (5-7 ounce) covey-living gamebirds historically widespread across the South, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic. Wild populations have declined catastrophically over the past sixty years due to ag intensification, fire suppression, and clean-farming practices that eliminate the early-successional habitat bobwhites need.
