I've seen red-tailed hawks go after quail many times, and miss. I've seen them catch rabbits with a much higher regularity. But smaller hawks, like Cooper's, Sharp-shinned, Blue darters, etc. ........... they seldom miss a quail. They are awesome in their ability to target and kill a prey. And, the smaller hawks are not prejudiced. They take songbirds at any opportunity. I've seen them in pursuit of a songbird which was fleeing for it's life, with the hawk in hot pursuit. I've never seen the smaller hawks give up in a pursuit. They are relentless.

Back to the subject matter of what the OP originally introduced: A tribute to wild bobs. Here's my above mentioned hunting bird-doggin' buddy's artistic tribute to wild bobs: a life-sized painted and carved in wood bobwhite. A few of his works sit in plantation homes in the SW of GA and N. FL quail plantation homes. The grasshopper, leaves--everything seen was carved and painted by Floyd:

I think you will be "safer at home"

Texas is not considered the South and Georgia lost their wild quail same time Tennessee did.

I saw that once when hunting birds and those hawks will never attack another quail.

In Henry Davis's book "Hunting with a .22" he claims that one Redtail hawk in an area will wipe out the quail population....he wrote of a Sunday afternoon drive in South Carolina where he shot 67 hawks.

I personally have met one Hawk man.

A few wild Georgia quail... Overwhelming preposterous to pontificate we don't have any, and even more so to be completely unaware of the famous quail plantations in our area and the work that Tall Timbers does.

Completely false, Frank. Some things you can't buy your way into.

To say that quail have 'disappeared" or "lost" from Georgia is understandable when the statement comes from the vast pool of ignorance present in this thread by our resident expert on quail management and all things quail. Here are a half dozen wild quail Floyd and I took on public land in SW Ga. a few years ago. In a morning's hunt, we had 7 coveyrises of wild birds of which at least one rise was before we could get to our dogs. Gil

Yep, that is ridiculous beyond the extreme. I regularly see wild bobs during the day, as I go about my farm work.

We all know you see things....I hear a few calling every spring but they never make it to a huntable population.

Ps...If Ames Plantation couldn't being them back you bozOs in Georgia can't.
