Where is your dad?
Here in southeast Kansas they’ve certainly thinned out.
I used to love quail hunting, and we were thick with them in the ‘80’s. Since then they’ve almost disappeared.
When I asked a Parks and Rec officer why he told me it’s because of the reintroduction of turkeys to Kansas. Not that they’re killing the quail outright but he said they have pictures of turkeys chasing quail off their nest and eating the eggs. And I can see them not caring because turkey and deer bring a lot more out of town money to the area than quail ever did.
