Scaled quail AZ ?

[Sierra Hunter]

I’m down in Mearns country but since they’re down this year I’m trying to focus and scalies. Been having a tough go at it, I tried a bit last year with no success and that trend is continuing. I’m trying to the foothills with yellow grass and mesquite, but in a see of it and warmer weather it’s hard to figure out where they’re located, for me and the dogs. Any general guidance is appreciated here or if you’d prefer to reach out privately. Thanks gents
