Albany Area Quail Management Project

Auburn University's involvement in quail research in southwest Georgia began in 1992 on Pineland Plantation. This study of limiting factors on the Pineland quail population was designed to investigate certain aspects of the life history and hunting behavior on an intensively managed plantation.

This project stimulated interest in the local plantation community and was expanded in both size and scope in August of 1993 when additional work began on Nilo Plantation and adopted the name "Albany Area Quail Management Project".

• Features - Very practical and informative newsletter published twice yearly and mailed to all plantation owners/managers, hunters, and non-hunters containing techniques applicable to quail management and hunting.
• Benefits - Studies are concentrated in the Albany, Georgia plantation community. However, our information will be applicable anywhere land is intensively managed for quail in the southeast and anywhere quail exist in the United States.
