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.:rotf:

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. :)
