RED RIVER QUAIL SYMPOSIUM: Find where you can learn 
about quail management practices ... on Passport to 
Texas.

PTT from TPWD and the SFWR Program

Fall begins the quail hunting season across Texas. Learn 
how to keep this hunter's favorite viable at a special 
symposium this month.

"The Red River Quail Symposium, that's put together by Dr. Fred 
Guthrie of Oklahoma State University and Dr. Dale Rowlins with 
the Texas Cooperative Extension with Texas A&M University."
 
Kory Perlichek (purl-ih-check), Wildlife Biologist at the 
Matador Wildlife Management Area, tells us what to 
expect.

"We will do a field tour at the Birdwell-Clark Ranch. We'll tour the 
Dale Harvey Ranch. We'll look basically at the extensive practices, 
like grazing and brush management, at these ranches, but we'll 
also address some more intensive practices, like supplemental 
feeding, prescribed burning, disking. The Quail Symposium will 
highlight how the land owners can improve their property for 
quail and quail hunting."

If you care about the future of quail, this symposium is 
for you.

"Whether you're a quail conservationist, or a conservation group, 
or a wildlife biologist, or a rancher that's interested in quail 
habitat management, this is a good place to go."

The Red River Quail Symposium is October 11-13 in 
Wichita Falls. Registration is required. Details are on the 
Texas Parks & Wildlife website.
