I have a friend who has some land next to the city's run-off lake from the city sewer. The water has been through all the treatment but is still not considered safe for human consumption. It often has ducks on it and my friend has quail on this land which I enjoy hunting. I assume that these quail drink from this lake and was wondering if the water could effect their taste. Several years ago, some friends killed some Pheasants near a Dairy and when they cooked the birds, they stunk so bad they threw them away.
