After the birds reach maturity they
will be banded and released by the
Sportsmen's club under the direction
of president Don Geiger and vice
president Jean Muller, who is in
charge of game management.
Club officials have not yet decided
where or when they will release the
birds.
One of the first Coturnix to be
released in Ohio was bagged by a
Georgia hunter hundreds of miles
from its release point in southern
Ohio.
The eggs for the Rammels' project
are obtained by the Sportsmen's club
from the Urbana Game Farm anc
turned over to the Rammels, who
place them in an incubator furnished
by Millard Herr.
Sixteen days are required for tn,
eggs to hatch and the birds viii
reach their maturity after 35 days o
age. At this point they can begin
laying eggs, although the fertilit,
rate of eggs from the youngest birds
is somewhat lower.
Quite possibly the Bluffton peopl,
