raymond1 262 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 has anyone ever released bobwhites or hybrids of them for the shoot ? i have watched a few videos on the tube and they seem to fly very well and also easier to manage than partridges i thought about putting a thousand hybrid mules down next year so has anyone else had a go at releasing and shooting them ?

South hams hunter 8,996 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Even the pures wouldn't be a problem, kept a few and they wouldn't sit there eggs. Very few quail will sit there own eggs Quote Link to post
