Mearns Quail Hunting
Spent yesterday chasing Mearns Mearns Quail Sonita-Patagonia area. First two observations are extremely warm for this time of year (mid to high 70's) and the country is really dry. Looks like a continuation of last years sub-par Mearns population. Met several friends for dinner and they had been hunting since opening day and claimed they had worked hard for limited number of coveys and low number of birds in each covey (4-6 birds).
Going for a full week starting on 17th and be able to giving everyone a better update.
PS: According to everyone I've talked too the Desert Quail population is up.
