Phil,
I am amazed by that myself.
Each time down I expect to see someone of authority.
Even the couple of fellas that had Coues tags were never checked.
We set up camps, both east and west of Nogales, so someone was present in camp a pretty fair amount of time. Not one person in the parties was ever checked by a warden.
I don't mean to minimize the number of hunters or the effect that it has on the quail. It takes some effort for us to get away from the crowds. The birds get "hammered" in many areas.
Is there any type of conservation group in AZ for the Mearns?
