No wild, established Alaska population.ADF&G's regulation text says only 'Quail' (undifferentiated by species) inside the 'Feral non-native game birds' catch-all, with 'no closed season' and no tracked bag limit statewide. This entry stands in for that undifferentiated catch-all since Alaska draws no distinction among quail species; see gapsAndNotes for how the other quail slugs were handled.

Population outlook

Alaska 2026

Awaiting survey — Alaska 2026

Classified as "Unclassified Game"/feral non-native game bird (grouped with wild turkey) under ADF&G's own 2026-2027 regulations (p.142) — confirmed no closed season and no bag limit statewide (Units 1-26), and no survey or wing-collection infrastructure of any kind. Falls entirely outside ADF&G's regulatory "small game" definition, which covers only the 7 native grouse/ptarmigan species plus 2 hare species.
