Dg, welcome to Uhp, I see you made the jump from aht. This is a great sight with lots of great folks, as is aht. Hope you get back to AZ soon. Are you going after the Javie's for the general hunt?

Our season ended last Sunday. I ended on a high note, 4 quail in 4 shots!:thumbsup: Good luck to anyone who can still get out after them.

QH, Good for you 4 in 4.:thumbsup: I hope to do half as good tomorrow.
The little devils are becoming a pain to find. I think they recognize my truck, coming down the road. LOL

@jmac: What are you hunting - Gambels, Blues/Scalies, or Harlequen (Clown)? Don't know about AZ, but I assume you have all 3 since yrs ago I used to hunt or bump into all of them not far across the border from you in NM. Good luck!!! :thumbsup:
HHR, tomorrow it will be for Gambel's. Scalies have been tough this year. There doens't seem to be as many Scaled Quail as the Gambel's or at least where, I have hunted them, this year. Mearns/ Harlequen have stumped us this year, Might be because didn't have dogs, to find them. Mearns unlike Gambel's and Scalies, will hold tight for dogs. Gambel's and Scalies are track stars.
We have not had a lot of rain this winter, so far, I hope it comes soon or next year could be tough.

I have a dream to bag every quail species in America over my quailhound JP. So far we have taken valleys, mountain, and gambels quail together. All we have left is bobs, blues, and mearns I believe. I hope to take care of at least one of those next year.:thumbsup:
QH, I can't help you with the Bob's, But next year, Maybe we can take care of the Mearns, and Blues, if you want to take a small trip to zonie land. :thumbsup:
PM coming your way.

That is why I love this forum.:cheers: No other segment of hunting shares a tighter bond than us upland addicts. Pm sent back, thanks Jmac.
Well not a great day. We hunted an area that's been Hammered. Saw quail mostly leaving the county. They flew with no idea where to land , except not where no hunters could find them. I.E they left the state. Got one bird, And that's all folks. So 12 miles , one bird / Quail, and I am done for the year. I think we over educated the quail, this year.

Yep, that's how it goes sometimes. Now we just hope for good weather and hatch so those quail can recoop from us chasing them so hard.

Qh, Your right. We need rain badly down here, and soon. The water catchments are bone dry. One or two good rains, badly need to fill them up, before nesting season. The desert is green for now, but without rain, it won't saty that way for long. I cant complain about this season/ quail has been great. :cheers:
