Might sound kinda dumb. But back in the 60's and 70's here in Wabash Co. we did rabbit and quail hunting all the time. Seems like by the 80's the quail around here disappeared. Growing up use to hear them all the time, mornings and evening coming from our swamp and fields. In the 90's while deer hunting I saw a small group moving in front of me. Have not seen or heard one that I can remember since then. Lived those years in the 90's until 2012 in a small town, and now the last 10 years out in the country.
Yesterday morning I was walking out back around the house and I heard something and no kidding I stopped in my tracks, frozen in time.....some people say a smell can bring back memories...for me thats not true, its music or sound....and I just heard a sound...it can't be....then it went again...it was a Bob White as loud as could be even though it was like 200 yards away in a small woods sounding across the field. I listened to it for probably 30 minutes or so. Man, sure bought back some memories and hope increase in numbers...we got a ton of hawks and owls around here also. It has to be decades since I heard that sound.
