Article has State wide report on all areas.
By Jessica Domel Multimedia Reporter Quail hunting will likely be more challenging across much of Texas this year due to the drought. “Heading into last winter, I think we were all excited from the growing season rainfall we had. Unfortunately, once we hit December, we sort-of started the long march into drought, and that extended all the way into the spring,” John McLaughlin, upland gamebird program leader for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), said. “Right now, the prospects for Northern Bobwhite are probably below-average for much of the state, but we do have some bright spots.” While a milder winter might normally bode well for quail, the warmer, drier weather persisted for too long and ended up impacting quail habitat conditions. The hot, dry weather also led to little early season breeding activity. The unrelenting heat this summer then limited any meaningful gains quail populations more https://texasfarmbureau.org/south-texas-trans-pecos-bright-spots-for-quail-hunting/
