Do Coturnix Quail Falls Under Gamebird Licenses?

[Wolf-Kim]

I know in some states they don't. Does anyone know whether NC requires a gamebird license for Coturnix? If you don't know about NC, does your state require one for Coturnix?

I dont know about NC but it shouldnt i wouldnt think as they're not from the US. Atleast that's why they don't require a permit here. Bobwhite, Phesants and many others however I need a permit to raise, which is why I don't raise them.

Well actually im wording that wrong, I can raise Bobwhites without a permit, I just can't sell trade barder or give away (Or release) them without a permit.

My Coturnix and Button Quails are omited from needing a permit because "they do not originate from US" Which I find funny since you need a permit for Phesants yet they dont originate frmo the US lol!

The only quail we need a permit for in Ohio is Bobwhite, not sure about NC. Here is a link to a site that you might be able to find some info or contact someone who would know for sure. http://www.ncwildlife.org/index.htm

Kim,
I was told by NCWRC that (ALL) quail classify as gamebirds. But heck It took memonths to find a game warden who could even tell me if I needed a permit for bobwhites. Silly Silly regualtion. IN my opinion it is all a money racket here in NC.

About the same here in Ohio. They say if they are native to Ohio you need a permit. Then they say you need one for ringnecks pheasants???? Not the other pheasants.

That does sound very silly. I can understand if they are native, or even a wild variety, but I don't see my fat lazy white giants becoming the next invasive species.. LOL
