- Description:
- By the 1920s approximately 300,000 acres of farmland in the Red Hills had been converted to private shooting plantations for hunting bobwhite quail. In March 1970 the Georgia General Assembly passed House Resolution No. 694-1436 naming the bobwhite quail the state's official game bird.
