I've never read My Health is Better in November , but I know that it is sitting on the bookshelf at home. I've heard that it is good.

Wow, this thread got some action recently.

You guys have all said everything that I've heard to be true regarding the habitat. It's quite a shame. Modern farming practices in general have contributed the most, in my opinion, to the decline of birds in the south. The cotton industry has wrecked havoc.

Drummer, if you're wondering what the land is like for the reason I'm thinking, we're both on the same page, and I think we'd both agree: Habitat development is key in building a wild quail population.

We (my parents) don't own any land (except for our house, of course, in a neighborhood), and dad has a very limited amount of available hunting land. He's been able to get some good off-an-on guiding jobs though.

1st week of March, during my spring break, we are driving to south Georgia where some good friends of ours own hundreds of acres of land with 4 ponds, a ranch house and a shack. My brother, dad and I will have the place to ourselves to quail hunt (it is registered as a preserve) and fish. I'm looking forward to it.

We go down almost every year. It is beautiful land.

The good thing about this year is that there's a group of about 12 people who will be down there for two days before we arrive, and they are planning on releasing about a hundred birds. I get the feeling these guys aren't VERY experienced, and thus I'm looking forward to mopping it up.
