MDWFP Bobwhite Quail Hunting Survey

MDWFP and Mississippi State University are conducting a cooperative research project evaluating quail population response to habitat management and surrounding land use and composition around five Wildlife Management Areas across Mississippi (Black Prairie, Charles Ray Nix, Copiah County, Divide Section, and Marion County WMAs).

They are asking for quail hunter feedback about your hunting experiences on these and any other WMAs you may hunt with a short survey. This survey is voluntary and anonymous. They are asking that one survey be completed for a hunting party (if more than one hunter) each time you hunt a WMA.

There are two ways to take the survey:

  1. Click here to take the Bobwhite Quail Hunting Survey
  2. Take the survey on the MDWFP App:
    • Download the MDWFP App
    • Click the “Field Guide” button
    • At the bottom of the list, select “Bobwhite Quail Hunting Survey”

Although harvest numbers are recorded through the WMA Daily Permit card or Check-in App, that data does not provide them with reliable estimates of the amount of time hunters spend hunting. Nor do they provide information on hunting party size or the number of dogs used that may provide some additional information on hunting effort and success.

This survey ends on March 5, 2024
