Saving the Bob White Quail (Texas Country Reporter) 

What a delightful young woman. A true daughter of Texas.

My son and I raised thousands of Bob whites for quite a few years. Loved them birds

In this crazy world, her innocence is heart warming. A true Texas girl

This is amazing. I was telling my husband, that when I was young, we used to visit my grandparents farm and hear these birds. I never knew they were quails, I just know everyone said they were "Bob Whites" because of their call.

Real Texas girl

She's an amazing young lady. She's set her goals to help the Bob White pheasant and is working hard to make people aware that they are in danger.

Wonderful video! While serving during my USAF career, stationed in San Angelo, TX, I harvested 'Colinus virginianus' always being careful to not deplete the coveys, but sharing the harvest with the land owners. I also spent many days bailing, stacking, hauling hay for the farmers who allowed my on their land. I went on to do my university thesis about the Bob White quail. Wonderful memories of a super time 53 years ago,

Great story. I wonder what Callie has been up to since this episode came out in 1999. .❤😃

🇨🇱💙🙏🏆🤗 Thank you for sharing

When I was a boy in west Texas I remember the bob white quail

We have sure lost our quail population in Southwest Oklahoma.😢

Hello, from France.

We don't have any more wild quail in Florida due to the bobcats and the fire ants.

what year was this and is there any chance of an update?

When I was 9 years old, in the fall of 1974, I shot my first Bobwhite Quail on Jones Hill in Troup, Texas. It was a covey of what seemed like 50-60 birds (it might have been 20, lol) that I got lucky and cornered in a right angle of an old chicken pen that was overgrown with brush. Those were the golden years of my youth. Bobwhites were everywhere on our 40 acre farm! We farmed a half-acre every year, but the rest hardly ever got mowed at all. It was perfect habitat. Those days are gone forever, but I have the memories etched firm in my mind. Well, young lady, you should be proud of yourself! If those kids weren't teasing you about the quail, they would be teasing you about something else. That's because you're beautiful AND smart! I see this video piece is old, I'm sure you still are pretty and smart. They were jealous (it's a part of being a teenager). I stopped hunting them the next year and started raising them and releasing them on our farm. Boy, you and me would have been pals for sure, lol!!

Fire-ants have really done a number on our Qual population around here.

Bob Wright whale are fantastic especially fried

👍🏆

They taste good broiled too, make bite size boiled eggs. Mmm.. quail for breakfast :D

Bobwhites, to me, are like blue bonnets, an integral part of Texas. I never hunted quail, or blue bonnets for that matter, but I loved them, both. And I can always recall their beautiful song, as if it were a prayer, "bob white, ...bob white!" It was as if they were letting the world know, and thanking God for His plentiful world, which they shared and loved. "Buzzards," Turkey Vultures, are beautiful too, although they do not smell as sweet.

Used to call them up when I was little here in Sulphur Springs tx now there are none I’m thinking fire ants were the biggest threat
