Hunters killing banded bob-
white quail in this area are
asked to turn the bands in at
the Matador Wildlife Manage-
ment Area, seven miles north of
Paducah.
Houston Green, Matador Area
Research Biologist, says that
several hundred birds have
been banded on the Matador
Area and bands returned from
birds killed offer valuable in-
formation on seasonal move-
ments as well as other popula-
tion criteria. In this manner
hunters can aid in developing
quail management techniques
which will be aimed at provid-
ing a more stable and abund-
ant annual quail crop.
Quail banding on the Area
is now maintained throughout
the year by bait trapping with
grain, drive trapping and de-
■ coy trapping. The latter is a
new method using quail hens
from the state hatchery at Tyler
to act as decoys. The hens are
placed inside a small wire cyl-
inder inside a funnel-type trap, j
In response to the decoy hen’s
calling, cocks and oftentimes
pairs are attracted inside the
trap. The decoy hens are put
out early in the morning and
picked up in late evening.
Bait trapping, however, is
considered to be more produc-
tive since whole coveys are
trapped in the fall when the
food stortage makes baiting
more attractive.
After the birds are banded
and released, the location of
the trap site is marked on an

year two young birds from the
same covey and banded at the

Motley County. There were
other bands returned from off-
area traveling birds but within
the county.
Bands can be mailed to Hous-
ton Green, who lives on the
Matador area or turned in per-
sonally at the Area office. This
effort on the part of the hunt-
ms will be very helpful and
greatly appreciated, Green said.
