Like southern151 said, captive raised quail released in the wild are almost always a waste of time. Habitat, habitat, and habitat is what quail need and there are so many factors that have contributed to their decline (lack of fire, mowing too much, herbicide use, FIRE ANTS, and most of all feral cats
). The places I have seen them the most recently in N La are in WRP fields. Kisatchie has a decent population, but in S La the ones I see are in sugarcane fields.
