ODWC regulates bobwhite and scaled quail on a single combined page/limit.Scaled quail range is restricted to western Oklahoma including the panhandle. No 'pot shooting' allowed.
Shares ODWC's August + October Roadside Quail Survey with northern bobwhite quail (81 routes/75 counties, combined bobwhite + scaled index, unbroken since 1990); the 2025 August edition (Sept 2025) put the statewide combined index at 4.98 quail/route. No 2026 August edition found this pass; expected ~September 2026 based on the 2025 precedent.
