The Wildlife Department is embarking on an intensive, long-term research project on two northwest Oklahoma wildlife management areas to study quail reproductive success and mortality. The Department is also teaming up with a group of partners to conduct an extensive research project that covers the western portion of the northern bobwhite quail's North American range. The Department will continue ongoing quail conservation efforts across the state through a number of initiatives on both public and private lands. QUAIL UPDATE Hunter helps researchers with banded quail harvest Bernard Brown of Sand Springs harvested a quail Jan. 19 at the Cimarron Hills Wildlife Management Area in northwest Oklahoma that may have looked like any other when he shot at it on the flush. But when his German shorthaired pointer "Blade" retrieved the bird, it became clear that something was different. "I noticed immediately it was banded," Brown said. "I was stoked. Made my day!" Brown's bird was part of a group of 165 quail that were trapped, sampled and banded by Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation biologists at the end of 2011 for research. Specifically, Brown's bird was a juvenile male that had been trapped and banded in October and released after blood and other biological samples were collected from the bird. Hunters were notified by the Wildlife Department of the possibility of harvesting banded quail on several western Oklahoma WMAs this season and were asked to report banded birds if they
