In my research there is no such thing as "attracting some back". Once they are gone they are gone. Some have successfully reintroduced them to their property by constantly trapping predators and supplying a constant food source. Good cover is also essential.
I did my first release this fall. I released about 225 birds. The birds have a few miles of fencerows and an acre or so of honeysuckle around for cover. They have availablility of water and milo. They seem to be doing ok. I have shot about 30. I may have one more shoot then leave the remainder to see what happens. The experts say that between 3-8% will survive. That will leave one covey hopefully next fall. They have a chance to raise. Their offspring have a much better chance of survival.
If you own several acres and can get some blackberry bushes or native lespadeesa going an acre here and there you'll have a pretty good chance. Birds need water and food outside of their cover. They do not like bottom land. They dont like wet feet. They are not called an upland bird for nothing...
I would love to see more people interested in reintroducing quail. Some folks like to Deere hunt. Some like to deer hunt, but me I like to Deere hunt and bird hunt:)
