If people are going to blame pesticides for the bobwhite quail decline I sure wish they would be careful enough to specify which class(es) of pesticides they think caused it. Insecticides are pesticides, and some of the bad ones from days long gone certainly must share some of the blame. Fungicides are also pesticides, are they a cause ............ and how? How about herbicides? They're also pesticides. Have they killed quail .............and how? Miticides, bactericides, larvicides? They're all pesticides. I think I am pretty well versed in the use of, and the dangers of, all these classes, having held a GA certified Pesticide Applicator License since the licensing was first offered. To say that "pesticides" are responsible for this or that is pretty vague and irresponsible, IMO. And, it doesn't do much to strengthen your argument when you don't even know the difference between the different classes, and what they do or don't do.
