Quail Fact Friday!💡 Ever heard of the “fall shuffle?” No, it’s not a dance move. As summer turns to fall, bobwhite quail broods disperse in a movement known as the fall shuffle, forming coveys for winter. During this time, they seek areas where food and cover are close together, reducing the risk of predation. Woody cover, crucial for protection and loafing, becomes a priority. Habitat managers can benefit from conducting fall covey counts to locate and understand the “covey headquarters” that fall coveys prefer. This knowledge can guide better hunting and habitat management decisions. Are you seeing the fall shuffle happen near you? #quailforever #quail #quailfactfriday

It should be a good prairie grouse season. But every year is a good year to hunt prairie grouse. Go again. Go back. Go for the first time.
