The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks is actively managing both public and private lands across the state to promote healthy habitats for bobwhite quail.
Many hunters and landowners have questioned why quail populations have decreased over the years. The department’s efforts aim to address these concerns.
A new video highlights the factors contributing to the decline and showcases the work being done to restore quail habitats and boost populations for the future, according to MDWFP officials.
