It won't be long, that baby'll be twenty feet high. Enjoy the view while you can.

I always figured when this fence was built the contractor was told the government wanted a barrier so even a tank could not get across. Hence the Hedgehog barrier. And a barbed wire fence. A 90 year old grandmother could cross this, and not hard for 50 lb packs of weed or cocaine to be thrown over the fence.

I had a great time talking with some of our western members about Mearns quail in Vegas. I want to go now.

Yes you do Mills!
It is a very sporting bird! I expect even a seasoned quail afficiando like yourself would find it quite challenging! Hard walking, tough shooting, and very, very Rewarding!

Well it looks like that scoundrel in your picture had no trouble in crossing the border.

Default Mearns

Mark.... Our guide took us down that same road when I and two friends hunted there in December 2012. I was surprised just how porous the wall was constructed. I actually had one foot in Mexico and one in the USA for a photo op. Saw a female Cougar and her cub running down the Mexico side one morning. Also a few Border Patrol Agents. Hope your guide pointed out the little crude Mexican Chapel built along their side for a last stop and prayers by the illegals before crossing over into the USA. Beautiful country and I agree with Craig that the Mearns are "little rockets" and when you bring one down it is very rewarding,,,,, and what a trophy little bird! Hope to return someday.
