Alabama NewsCenter — Quail hunters come to Alabama Black Belt for training experience

By: Josh Bean

A group of novice hunters are gathering this weekend at Wehle Nature Center, a public piece of property supported by Alabama’s Forever Wild Land Trust and managed by the State Lands Division of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR).

A long weekend in Bullock County will include a three-day “Learn to Hunt Experience” designed to promote quail hunting and teach participants about hunting’s role in conservation.

The event is facilitated through a partnership among Quail Forever, the State Lands and Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries divisions of ADCNR, and the Minority Outdoor Alliance (MOA). The 10 participants, who arrived Friday and are staying through Sunday, will learn all aspects of upland hunting, including bird ecology and the basics of hunting with dogs, before taking part in a live-action bird hunt.
