When bobwhite quail populations in West Texas plummeted in 2010, concerned hunters took notice and banded together to fund research to find a solution to the mystery. Now the efforts from the Rolling Plains Quail Research Foundation are bearing fruit for wildlife in the region. The familiar story of hunter-backed conservation is celebrated in this week’s episode of Sporting Classics with Chris Dorsey. The series airs on Outdoor Channel every Monday at 12:30 pm, Tuesday 7:30 am, Thursday 2:30 pm, and Sundays at 4:30 and 10:30 am (all times ET).
