Ep. 79 All Hail The Bobwhite Quail

Rabbits, squirrels, and quail. That's about the limit of what's left to hunt here in Iowa, and I'd guess much of the rest of the country as well. So as the days quickly end for chasing these underrated species, I wanted to focus hard on the bobwhite quail, and there is nobody better to give us an education on this than our friend Todd Bogenschutz of the Iowa DNR. Todd was on the show in the past to talk upland birds in Iowa, and in this episode he provides masterclass on quail specifically. Todd talks about the history of quail in the midwest and southern US, their breeding and covey habits, their diets, why pen released birds don't work, how to hunt the speedy little birds, and the challenges they face on the modern landscape. This is the biggest amount of quail specific info I have ever come across and I'd be willing to guess you will be saying the same thing after tuning in.   Follow The Hunt Fish Life: @hntfsh_life   Follow Alex: @alexg.hunt Follow East2West Hunts: @east2westhunts   Check out the First Gen Hunter Website Follow First Gen Hunter Instagram: @first.gen.hunter GoWild: @Kent Boucher Facebook: @first.gen.hunter   Support First Gen Hunter by shopping at the following partners: Spartan Forge Camofire Black Ovis My Medic MTN OPS East2West Hunts Use promo code: firstgen10 = 10% off any purchase
