Congratulations Mark!
They are a wonderful bird, and fantastic for pointing dogs.
I find them to be the best table fare. A bit larger than the other quails. My family has always voted to have Mearns first. Even over elk.
This was a very good year for the birds, waist high grass is the key to a great season.
The terrain was totally unexpected on my first time down years ago. I expected desert, and was amazed by the oak trees and tall grass.
Not to hard to take the weather either at that time of year!
