    Not sure if this is the correct forum, but thought this was cool.

    I have seen the use of a "wire terrier". Same concept

    Same premise as a catch pen or johnny house. Except with food instead of a male to call the birds back. I'm amazed at how fast they found it.

    I'm pretty sure I read on here that a catch pen is illegal in SC for quaill. But I haven't looked it up.

    They are illegal, unless you have a registered training area and use banded birds, etc. etc.

    One thing that makes them work a lot better is if you put a mirror at the back of the entrance funnel so the birds see "another" bird when the look inside.

    I flushed a big covey yesterday while putting out corn. First ones I have seen on our lease. Probably 7 - 10 birds and they were fairly large.
    They were actually at the corn pile feeding I think

    Give me a year. She's only 5 weeks old right now, but she will be ready.
