I love Bob White quail, I love to hear them call. Never hear them anymore, fire ants are to blame for a lot of that.

In the former life, the first Spring, a pair hatched four eggs in the (future) flower bed outside the family room window. Really was happy the kids got to see

Decades ago we had bobwhites here. I'd do the same as @TexasLisa and whistle back and forth. We'd see them in the back pasture running from clump to clump...but no more. Strangely enough - we don't see as many fire ants lately. Seems the crazy ants are taking them out.

I like it fried - thanks @baymule for that suggestion. But, I really enjoy it wrapped in bacon and doused with a sweet/hot sauce. 
It dries out quickly so you have to keep that in mind when cooking it.

I was hoping you would post a photo! Thanks!
I still want to try quail and still havent done anything about it. Murray McMurray sells them by 100 count, which is way more than I want.

Splitting sounds good to me! 50 is still too much for me, maybe @hardknockhomestead too?I am glad I jumped on this thread. I want some quail too--DH was even on board for it this fall but it got too late and I didn't want to start something new right when the snow flies and I would have needed to find some.
100 is more than I would want too but maybe we could split a shipment @tortoise![:\](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/side.png "side :\")

When we did quail I mail ordered a bunch of quail eggs from ebay.
