    My biggest advice on hunting would be do a lot of driving, and avoid taking blind walks without seeing birds from truck or sign on the ground. Be super aggressive, listen as gambel’s are vocal, don’t worry about bumping birds. Most of your success will be because you find them after the covey...

    New Mexico

    First off very cool country and I admit it’s further south than my normal range, but if gambel’s are the goal that’s where you need to be. That’s classic big desert quail country, tons of public land. I would absolutely boondock southern nm and have before, but it’s a different part of the...

    Quail in the snow?

    I wouldn’t think moving them every couple weeks would be an issue, something in nature will move them every day…. It’s amazing how they pop up in places like you describe every once in a while then disappear for years

    Quail in the snow?

    Would take a long term storm to find dead quail.. and would probably have a coat of ice that came first. I would hunt a six inch snow IF it was on the thaw within a few days and temps were not brutal. As others have said give them some time to covey up and eat in the morning.

    My brother has been in pagosa 15 years or so, nice place to visit family, fish and hunt. I do like those hot springs in the fall after a day of chasing grouse!

    Barbed Wire - Training

    I was you last year, 3 sets of stitches, 2 more that could have used a stitch. After a summer of formal training and a whoa on ecollar installed it’s better. Hang in there and accept that it’s a problem and fix it in your own way. I can accept a few stitches over the years to come on...

    1950s Browning 16 gauge

    Not sure if anyone else has run into this but I was handed an a5 as a teenager because that’s what we had. Shot it until my mid 20’s because that’s what I had, then when I had some resources I began a quest for the next 15 years of trying to replace it. I’ve tried a lot of guns but at the end...
