Answer to the question of "%" spent: Wild -80% with a "success" rate OF SEEING 3-4 covey's/YEAR. (NC has few if any wild quail anymore and the NC Wildlife "professionals" just dither about and say you need xxxxx land to do any good-yet they do nothing to the millions of acres under there control!) Success on a preserve is only a matter of getting the birds to fly and account for 20% of my field time and is most useful in working youn/new dogs. Best, Dr. BILL
