Gambles Quail
 

Here's a picture, taken in 2006, of my handsome grandson and his not so handsome grandfather with the days take of Gambles quail. The Parker is a GH Damascus that I gave to my daughter. She is kind enough to let me use it, and the VH I gave her, when we visit them in Arizona.

Dennis,

Thanks for sharing your memory with us!

Gambel's Quail is the correct spelling. I would kill to walk that area for those birds. I visited a friend on TDY with IBM in Tucson some years ago. He had leased a home on a ridge outside of the city for a months long stay. He had the only water on the street where his leased house was located. Many Gambel's Quail visited his pond every afternoon, and probably in the morning. I so much wanted to hunt the valley that those birds came from, but my visit was in the summer.
