Colorado Quail Hunting Information

Colorado's quail outlook is slowly improving after the winter of 2006-07 and a severe drought in 2008 decimated populations. An extremely good nesting and brood rearing season this year is slowly helping rebuild populations. Bobwhite whistle counts were up slightly in 2009, and numbers appear to be improving where good habitat exists in southeast Colorado and the South Platte River in the northeast. Expect to find fair to good numbers of scaled quail in areas of good habitat in the extreme southeast part of the state where Small Game Walk-In Access offers approximately 70,000 acres of scaled quail hunting. Colorado has four CRP SAFE projects aimed at grassland species, including quail, and a current enrollment of 4,200 acres. * Season Dates: Northeast and Western Colorado, November 14 thru January 3, 2010; Southeast Colorado, including Pueblo, Fremont, Huerfano and Las Animas Counties, November 14 thru January 31, 2010 * Daily Bag / Possession Limits: 8 / 24 of each species
