QUAIL ( Coturinix Coturnix . )

Romania has stocks of non-migrant quails, but most of the birds appear during the fall, while they migrate in Northern Africa.

Optimum time for quail hunting is between August 20 and October 01 , which represents the peak of quail migration to the warm southern countries. Romania is crossed by two migration corridors, one in the western country and the other one in the eastern country.

The traditional places to find quails is the fodder fields, hay fields, stubble fields (after the wheat harvesting).

An adult bird weighs 100 - 150 grams . Hunting is practiced by foot or with pointer dogs . Hunt by tracking for larger groups (4-10 persons) without pointing dogs is organized this way: A line of hunters is arranged, stretching deep into the field, by advancing slowly, in discipline. Consequtive lanes are covered, while shooting at the birds that fly up in front or behind the hunters. 5-10 km can be covered daily. A good hunting offers between 20-30 quails.
