Quail Emphasis Areas

Nineteen Conservation Areas Emphasize Quail Management

If you're looking for new places to pursue quail, check out the Department's 19 Quail Emphasis Areas. These are located throughout the state, and recently the Department has ramped-up quail habitat-improvement efforts on them.

One quail per two acres

The long-term goal for Quail Emphasis Areas is a density of one quail per two acres in the fall before the hunting season. Several of the areas are approaching this goal as Department managers continue to increase habitat-improvement efforts there.

Check regulations and restrictions before you go

Most Quail Emphasis Areas are subject to statewide regulations for quail hunting. A few areas have some hunting restrictions in order to protect the quail population from heavy hunting pressure. For additional information on Quail Emphasis Areas, call the phone numbers attached to each conservation area in the table.
