I haven't seen quail near me for decades. But haven't ventured West or North onto more cereal farming country either to look for them. I used to see them in some paddocks/cereal stubble/grass paddocks decades ago here when hunting for rabbits or ducks. Before I had a GSP to find the downed birds with!

Have seen them in some deer country, but the landowner there doesn't like them being shot.

Some of the sheep properties we shoot foxes on might have some. Should ask.

And I know your dogs point what is in the photo above too. Which is a big plus.
