60 yrs ago here, on Dads farm I remember hearing quail calling. We are not in quail's range, too far north. Found out later the 4H kids raised and released some every year back then.
Fast FWD to my 20's to 30's... I was a avid bird hunter. Got to go to SE Iowa and actually shot a few wild quail. Amazing birds. Rather have them than Pheasant any day.
