If you asked me what quail means, I would say hunting with my Dad, watching the dog work or waiting for my son and daughter to hit their first bird on a covey rise. Twenty some odd years ago, someone might have said “the vice-president” when asked what quail means. What do our youth today say?
Don McKenzie makes the point that kids today do not even know what quail are, not to mention what it means. Not even kids in a hunter education class. To help reverse this trend as well as the trend of less habitat for quail, go to Things Today's Kids May Never Know About and read his story.

That is an interesting article and thought provoking post...As we spend time with our children in the field (and at home) and relate our past stories, they will pick up on those seemingly lost phrases, technologies and beasts and take to their friends what will seem to be new information. It is a retread...We keep those past items current by never forgetting to talk about them...just my two cents...Phil
