Eastern New Mexico (Carlsbad) for years was a winter field trail area and bobwhites were used. Today we have a thriving small populations of bobwhites which escaped the trails. They've adapted and surviving in terrain which looks nothing like the Midwest or South.
We found then in canyon filled with scrub oaks bushes which are 12-14 inch tall (produce a abundance of very small acorns) and are filled with Goat Heads/Texas Tacks which are terrible for your dogs pads. Dog boots are required!!!!!!!
I'm always amazed how some animals adapt and survive. I'm from central Illinois originally and family is sharing they are now seeing then after many years of nothing.
