Does anybody know if a permit is required for Georgia Giant Bob Whites, gambel quail and partridges? I need to know what the law requires before I get myself into something here. I've looked for information but can't seem to find it. I also have Jumbo Brown cortunix but I don't think one is required for them.

Wish Icould help. Maybe you can contact the game warden or Wildlife Dept.

I check with the game warden and let you know. But I believe the laws are specific to local wildlife and protected species. Like you can't go out and steal a bunch of Eastern Turkey eggs from the woods and hatch and raise them.

If you check "1660-01-18 Rules and Regulations of Live Wildlife" it's pretty specific about what is required. (2) While all other permits do apply, a possession permit is not required for the following species regulated as Class II wildlife: (a) Bobwhite Quail (b) Non-native game birds that are released in Tennessee or other states for the purpose of hunting (chukar, ringneck pheasant….etc.) (c) Waterfowl defined in Part 1, Title 50, of the U. S. Code of Federal regulations as in North American migratory game birds. If you want to be sure you can call TWRA at 731-423-5725 or look up the rules here tn.gov/sos/rules/1660/1660-01/1660-01.htm

Thank you. That pretty much covers what I have I was wanting to know about. I had called the lady that does the NPIP testing and she's going to find out for me and get back to me tuesday.
I have a bunch of ringneck pheasant eggs under a couple of broody's. After I found out what a pain they are, if any hatch i'll be selling them. I have enough breeds as it is. My yard is full of pens and tractors with birds in them. I really don't have room for a large flight pen or the special needs they have.
