Phil, we had similar experience as you. Stayed at the Stage Stop Inn (Patagonia) one group was there 5 days from California, seven vehicles full of hunters. Another group from Georgia and they were pounding their guides as they weren't getting limited everyday.
The four of us had 4 wheel drives trucks and by day 2 were going back into some of our isolated "Honey Holes", in one of them we found two parties camping out.
Arizona needs the Gambel and Scaled Quail population need to recover from the decade long drought and the word to get out about the down cycle Mearns Quail are in because of the excess pressure.
