I'd like to know too, since I have some of each. Just found out the combined fees for a bobwhite permit in Utah is $185! Yikes! Not sure if I'm going to keep them more than one season if that's the case. I can justify not getting legal if I only keep them through the summer and don't release any, but any longer and I'll feel like I need to get the dang permit. *sigh* It's good for 5 years and includes the price for the site inspection, but still--unless I intend to raise LOTS, it's so not worth it.
I don't think DH is very excited about the idea of eating the quail, they're his babies, and we have them in a fish tank in our living room so we can watch them every day. They're so dang cute!
