The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service has implemented the Texas Quail Index, a statewide effort to monitor wild quail population dynamics.
Extension agents and volunteers are implementing the demonstrations on 50 sites located across the state, according to AgriLife Today. They will record the number of quail in the area and assess habitat conditions. The goal is to determine if the various counts conducted will reliably predict how successful the upcoming quail season will be.
