AZ Mearns Quail

[cmahoney]

Taking my son to NM on his Javelina hunt the first week of February and we are brining the dog this year to hunt quail. We ran into a bunch of scaled quail last year so we plan to hunt them in that spot and mearns on the way back. We’ve never hunted them before and I was wondering if anyone familiar with them is willing to chat with me about my plans.

Thanks

Very down year for them in AZ.

Weather hammered them. Everyone who likes to hunt them says numbers are way low.

That sucks to hear, the quail forever forecast had my hopes up. Was it dry down there this year?

Yep low monsoon year and no fall or winter rain yet.

A friend and I had planned on going last week, all the local reports we got were poor. We ended up in Kansas…. Hoping next year we make it out there.

We saw a lot off range oryx hunting in November. Shot several while driving around looking for oryx.

Both blues and gambels
