My skin just started peeling from the desert sun...after spending last week chasing desert quail and Mearn’s. We saw more coveys of mearns then last year which was surprising based on the lack of monsoon rains last summer. Never seen so many Gambel’s quail before. One day a group of javelina flushed a 100 bird covey onto a hillside for us. Great trip! Can’t wait to go next year. Patagonia is a fun town to stay in...artsy-fartsy liberal town that relies on quail hunters to come...they have Quail Forever stickers in their store windows. Here’s a few pictures from last week.
