Abstract
A survey of the literature and policies of 17 bobwhite states showed that artificial propagation is costly and does not materially increase the shootable population of bobwhite. Six states have abandoned game farms. With the exception of Okla., Ky., and W. Va., other states have maintained low production or decreased production considerably. Costs per bird killed vary from $2.80 to $55.56.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
