How Far Can Quail FIyf

A number of sportsmen have been
discussing. the question of how far
quail can fly There are good many
contingencies to be considered in arriv-
ing at definite conclusion Of the ques-
tion, the which cuts no inconsiderable
figure in the distance one of these birds
can fly II there is stiff wind blow
ing and the birds course is with the
wind, a full grown quail could certain
ly 60 more than mile with ease and
doubtless a much greater distance
Those who have noticed quail trying
to fly across the Missouri river, where
the distance is about mile, recall that
not all the birds make the trip safely
They usually pick spot where they
can make halt ON a sand bar in mid
stream, and thus cross the river In two
flights. But sometimes they make the
distance at a single flight, and this
seems to be their full limit under nor
NAL conditions, for when they alight
they are completely exhausted.
1t is generally believed that on an
average mile is about the limit Of the
flight of quail where 1t is neither ia
vored nor retarded by the wind. 1t hap
pens very often that In crossing the
Missouri river at single flight quail
drop exhausted into the water. Proba-
bly, these are young birds.--St Louis
