Just have to share this pic. Beautiful mount of my AZ quail slam from our January hunt. Looking forward to going back. Should have it here next Friday. I’ll add a pic after it’s on the wall in the lodge.

Thats a fast turn time Mike. Congradulations. I love hunting these birds.

Beautiful, and unique, Mike!

Question to both of you . . . . having only hunted Gambel's myself, is there any noticeable difference in the flight/speed "out of the hole" between the three species?

I know that a Gamble's can get gone in a skinny minute.

I thought they were all fast out of the gate, but the Gambel’s seemed a bit slower.

Here is the first bird from the hunt, a cock Mearns and the 20g VH. He flushed at 35-40 yards, straight away. Stoned him at 60 yards with a load of 7/8 oz #6 out of the .015 choke.

Mount arrived late this afternoon. It’s out of the crate. I’ll post a pic tomorrow AM when it’s on the wall. Cool beans! It really looks good.

And here they are, right when you walk into the lodge in all their glory!
