I did. Hunted some north of Deming, did not find any birds but did see a couple places where a covey had roosted. Must admit I did not hunt very hard though so not a great test of bird numbers in the area.
I am considering an end of season hunt in Southwest NM for Gambel's quail. What elevation should I be targeting? I have a little experience hunting them in Southeast AZ but in past hunts in SW NM I was not finding good cover or birds.
