Kansas regulations do not carve out a separate scaled-quail season or bag limit; scaled quail occur at low densities in sand-sage prairie of southwest KS and are legally taken under the single generic statewide Quail season/bag limit (same as northern bobwhite). Low confidence this deserves its own product-facing entry vs. folding into bobwhite quail — flagged for review.
No scaled-quail-specific survey exists — KDWP's quail whistle-count and brood-survey instruments track "quail" generally (bobwhite + the scaled/blue quail of far southwest KS) without a species-level breakout, and scaled quail's outlook is folded into the same pending fall Upland Bird Forecast as bobwhite quail. Re-confirmed 2026-08-19: forecast still not published.
