When those who condemn start buying licenses to support such game & its habitat their words won't fall upon a listing audience. Up until they do.

I thought there would be a few more posts on this subject but evidentially I was wrong. Judge Denny released the first pheasants in Oregon back in 1882 and 1884 in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. These were birds he obtained from China, most likely wild birds. The birds took off and with the help of man colonized just about every habitat available that offered what they needed for survival and reproduction.
In much of the southern US, a large problem for the bobwhite quail population is the fire ant. That's true for other ground-nest species of birds as well. Then you can add in feral house cats as well as the "usual" predators.

Intensification of agriculture and forestry coupled with increased urbanization are the primary factors responsible for the decline in bobwhite quail and a number of other early successional wildlife species.
