There are many factors at play in the maintenance of gamebird populations...none of which can be adequately or theoretically assumed the greater ...look at the mallard bags some decades ago in the Waikato...50 birds...not wishing to regurgitate your previous thread on this matter, I will say that my response to the thread was that most will attest to the fact and it is a fact that gamebird/waterfowl shooters are the conservationists of the species however if the bag and specie as stipulated by the governance then that is what most shooters will aim for (pun intended)...last year in this region they upped the bag from two to three as pretty much a last minute reprieve...this year back to two cock ringneck pheasants...the Californian quail has been listed with a bag of 10 per day for quite a number of years now...good luck and bravo to anyone who could fill that bag on a daily basis in these parts.
