Mearns season had ended here in Arizona, however several groups in the Sonita-Patagona area pushed it to the very end. Arizona had an unusually warm late January and early February and the last week of the season temperatures were in the high 70s and low 80s with night time lows in the 40s. I was told yesterday he they had reports of 4 dogs bitten by rattlers the last 5 days of the season, one in Gardner Canyon was by a Mojave Green.
Love hunting Mearns but not at the risk of my dog!
