ISBN: 9780292722781 / Angielski / Miękka / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Northern bobwhites are one of the most popular game birds in the United States. In Texas alone, nearly 100,000 hunters take to the field each fall and winter to pursue wild bobwhite quail. Texas is arguably the last remaining state with sufficient habitat to provide quail-hunting opportunities on a grand scale, and Texas ranchers with good bobwhite habitat often generate a greater proportion of their income from fees paid by quail hunters than from livestock production. Managing and expanding bobwhite habitat makes good sense economically, and it benefits the environment as well. The... Northern bobwhites are one of the most popular game birds in the United States.
