Texas Parks and Wildlife commissioners decided Wednesday they don't have enough information to make decisions about the future of quail hunting in Texas.

Quail populations have been in a steady decline of about 2.8 percent per year for four decades, upland game bird program leader Robert Perez told members of the commission's regulations committee. "The decline is symptomatic of a habitat problem," Perez said. '

To address the current situation, state quail managers recommended that commissioners adopt a new set of regulations that would create two quail zones, a shorter hunting season and a reduced bag limit in part of the state.

One of the zones would be in the east part of the state and would have a 5-bird daily bag limit. The other zone would be in the west and would retain a 15-bird-per-day limit. The hunting season in both zones would close at the end of January rather than late February.

With the recent droughts, decline in habitat, and general increase in predator populations quail will have a difficult time going forward.  Seems to me we need to manage populations in good habitat areas very closely, and adjust harvest limits based on populations as well as weather patterns.
