The
Alabama Quail Trail is a thrust of private individuals,
business, and conservation organizations that are passionate
about quail and quail hunting. The purpose of the Alabama
Quail Trail is to focus the interest and resources in
quail hunting, quail research, and quail conservation
in a manner that increases the expenditure in Alabama
of recreational dollars associated with quail and quail
hunting, improves quail habitat across the landscape,
and ultimately improves quail numbers. Gains in each
of these areas will also have a direct positive impact
on rural economic development across Alabama. More precisely,
our goal is to focus the interest and resources in Alabama
to accomplish the following:
