The Texas Parks and
Wildlife Commission at a
public meeting in Austin
Wednesday, September 26,
set a 10 quail per day bag
limit in south and west Texas
for the upcoming hunting
season.
In response to biological
surveys which showed
unusually high quail
populations, the commission
set limits of 20 per day and 60
in possession for counties
under the department's
regulatory authority in
South Texas and the Trans-
Pecos, including Starr
County.
These are the highest quail
bag and possession limits
allowed in Texas since the
department first was given
authority to set the limits
beginning in the early
1950's, according to Don
Wilson, quail species leader
for the department.
Other regions also were
given increased limits,
with a 16 per day and 48 in
possession limit established
for much of the western half
of the state and in 16

Southeast Texas counties.
The smallest limits were
assigned in East Texas and
in roughly the western half
of the Panhandle, at 12 per
day and 36 in possession.
Wilson told the com-
mission that outstanding
quail production during the
year warranted the in-
creased bag limits to allow
additional recreation from
quail which would otherwise
be lost to natural causes.
Estensive research through
the years has shown that
quail populations are ex-
tremely cyclic and annual
mortality is commonly as
high as 80 percent in some
years whether the
population is hunted or not.
The following is a list of
the counties and bag limits.
Counties which are not under
the department's regulatory
authority have their laws set
by the Texas Legislature and
would not be affected by the
increased limits.
