A New Era for Bobwhite Quail

- In order to make significant progress in restoring bobwhite quail populations, wild lands and working lands must work together for the benefit of the life they support and the livelihoods they sustain. That’s why one of Quail Forever’s strategic priorities includes restoring and enhancing 780,000 acres of upland habitat on private land in targeted quail states by 2026.
That may seem like a daunting task, but luckily there are proven programs, solid partnerships, and a brand-new opportunity for landowners to utilize. Watch our original film, “A New Era for Bobwhite Quail,” to learn about some of these landmark initiatives while also hearing from landowners who are making - and seeing - a difference for quail populations on their own properties in Georgia and Missouri. - Розваги
"Conservation will ultimately boil down to rewarding the private landowner who conserves the public interest" is actually an incredibly depressing quote
You would have to explain your plans to do it otherwise in order for us to understand how it’s depressing. You cant expect states and the feds to own or control enough land for all the habitat needed to rebuild bird populations.
@@tradesmannd9926but they should try to do something on the land that they have in Missouri they don’t they want the farmers to put the time and effort in
@@tradesmannd9926 look what relying on the goodness of of people's hearts has gotten us. unimaginable habitat destruction and the disappearance of species from their natural ranges. this little bit of private land in GA doesnt come close to public land and wildlife refuges. i would much rather state conservation depts or the feds control 10,000 acres in every county than hoping a farmer tills only 155 acres instead of his entire 160 while coating the land in pesticides, insecticides and herbicides
@@tradesmannd9926 and no, something can be depressing without me having to go into detail on 'my plans' to fix it. I was simply commenting on how i felt. is it not depressing that quail habitat has been decimated and we have to just hope someone cares enough to make habitat for them? and there is really no will to get them back? dumb comment.
I started my career as a Private Lands Biologist in GA, working primarily to improve quail habitat. Even though I'm in MN now and out of the quail range, they're still special to me. Georgia needs more landowner like Mr. Fulmer willing to sacrifice a bit of timber revenue for habitat. Hopefully, new funding sources will decrease that revenue gap.
I'm moving from TX to Missouri when I can and I hope they have a program I can have my property in agriculture and raise them to help. I love quail!
As a land owner, the public doesn't need to worry about anything that happens on my ranch!
Gotta figure-out how to incorporate life history needs of these species into contemporary, production-ag. I get it, that’s a major undertaking but, unless we do, follow the dollar, not the few novel landowners that are good quail stewards. For now, you do what you can.
To bad no one is doing anything in north Carolina. I don't believe there is a wild covey of quail in the state. Nc wildlife doesn't care. Need someone to do something on public land here for sure
Sad, similar here in Iowa for pheasants and quail. Only thing they care about is deer. Deer equals big money from in and out of state.
In the age of rampant CWD, putting all of ones eggs in the whitetail basket is a losing proposition. Where I live our deer herd is crashing. Even a three year old buck is a rarity.
Fire ants ,coyotes,armadillos, raccoons, and especially hawks need to be thinned out or quail is finished except pen raised birds . Everything eats eggs and with no one predator hunting its futile.my friend worked at a plantation in Alabama that was a quail paradise and a comment was made by a figure of known authority said “ if someone gave you this 20 plus thousand acre land it would cost you over a million dollars every year to maintain it “ !
Thank you for standing up for conservation and God's creation!
Missouri Department of Conservation let’s see you put more effort into the property you own, I’ve been walking some of your property the last couple years and my what a waste buildings growing up in trees and weeds, maybe a burn here and there but no quail,rabbits no signs of rabbits in winter is bad, don’t always depend on private land owners
To little to late,,I bet there ain't 20 coveys in west tenn in 4 counties,,use to could hear quail whistle anytime of the day,,it's a shame to loose what we once had,between farmers wanting extra bushel of beans and the coyotes our quail are gone!!!
What have you done to help besides complain on UA-cam?
@@doubletap777 I set aside 10 acres out of farm ground and quit hunting quail completely smartass
