“To most of America, the gentleman’s sport of quail hunting is now a caricature composed of a gun-toting vice president and his errant shot. Less well-known is the fact that wealthy landowners’ pursuit of this small game bird has preserved large upland ecosystems and fostered the science of fire ecology. This is particularly evident in the Red Hills plantation country between Tallahassee, Florida, and Thomasville, Georgia.” (09/06)
