Southern AZ Quail Hunt

[Mike of the Mountain]

Our group of David DeFernelmont, John Brownell, Keavin Nelson and yours truly had a memorable 4 day desert quail hunt in Southern AZ. High winds and humidity below 20% made us work extra hard. My goal was a Quail Slam, cock of each species, Gambel’s, Mearn’s and scaled. I was blessed to accomplish that feat. Also added hen Gambel’s and scaled to the mix. Birds are at the taxidermist and the “meat birds” were supper last night. Seasoned, wrapped in bacon and grilled. Nix besser!! We’ll go back and hope to have some moisture for better scenting conditions. Dog work was great. Legwork was definitely a workout.
