Quail Forever is proud to announce a pair of new chapters in Missouri and Texas. Spread across America’s historic quail range, new ranks of chapter volunteers will provide a welcomed boost to habitat conservation work, hunter recruitment and advocacy efforts in their respective communities. The Southeast Missouri (SEMO) Habitat Chapter is based in Cape Girardeau, Perry and Bollinger Counties. The group will look to continue improving habitat across the Show Me State, while also advocating for public access and introducing new hunters to the outdoor community. The North Texas chapter of Quail Forever is based in Dallas, Denton, Collin and Rockwall counties. They also hope to impact habitat in their area, as well as bring new hunters, conservationists and outdoor enthusiasts into the fold.
