Murph,
The bag limit in Tennessee is as many as you want to buy. We don't have a wild population here. I usually get a few guys together and we pitch in and buy some quail and pheasants. Quail are $4 and pheasants are $9. With three or four guys pitching in $50 each lets me set up a pretty good hunt. The man I buy from is out of quail for the year. He had 8000 in November. There are a lot of field trials in our area that need birds.
