Bobwhites on the Rise

A practical and now-historical guide to Bobwhite Quail restoration and land management, written by USDA wildlife biologist Verne Davison and published by Scribner's in 1949. Davison spent decades working on quail habitat across the American Southeast and Great Plains, and this book is the distillation of that fieldwork — covering food, cover, crop management, predator control, and hunting practice. Illustrated by Wallace Hughes with clean drawings throughout.

The dust jacket carries the birds-in-flight illustration that matches the red-printed title page inside. First edition. A solid copy of a specific and genuinely useful document for anyone working in quail conservation, upland bird hunting, or the history of American wildlife management.
