Here in Nebraska we refer to this plant as lespedeza and you are correct, it is awesome quail cover and feed.

Mills, I saw on Facebook that you were going to Moultrie, did you hunt on Pinefields Plantation?
If so I had the pleasure of hunting there with a friend, his brother myself and my son. Great hospitality, great food. Rode horseback when shooting, and a guide would hand you your gun when you dismounted. When not shooting you rode in the famous mule drawn wagon.
After the first covey rise, hunted a few singles and I asked the guide if these were pen raised and he said yes. The wild ones were in the back part. At the time I was there it was still owned by the same family, but I believe it had been sold.

Both are good quail cover and feed, but Lespedeza and Partridge Pea are two different plants, Steve. I know how it is with localized names for plants and animals (and even fish), tho'.

Both are good cover and food sources, but Lespedeza patches can get pretty tall, over 10' high which can shield a coveyrise from gunners. Not so with partridge peas. Gil

With The Main Event just around the corner with Gobbler season within a month in Florida and the rest of the Deep South soon to follow, I thought of these two of my favorite photos from last season. Logan's first bird, shot with an H&R .410 single shot hunting with her dad, Greg, in the South Georgia low country. #9 TSS 13/16 oz. The smile says it all.

Now wait a freakin' minute here--we all know you can't kill anything with a .410! You shouldn't even say them digits around a kid, at least not in that order!

(Proud owner of a Win 37 "Steelbilt" .014 bought new by me in 1951 at the age of 8. Wish we'd had turkeys then. What a trophy huntin' experience her dad gave her! Good pic; good show all around!).
