Another great Mearns hunt Phil! Your dogs are the best of the best, I can hardly wait for the next hunt. Hog Canyon's very productive!

Got back last evening from another week of Mearns Quail Hunting. We averaged 1 covey every two hours and the average covey size was 6-8 birds. However we had to hike into some isolated canyons for our best hunting. Our dogs are ready for their Christmas Break!!
I'll be in the Patagonia area 2 more days this year then off to New Mexico for a week in January to finish the 2019-2020 bird hunting season. PS: New dog (French Brittany) arrives at the house in January!!!! |

Well, made it back to Indiana from Patagonia. Was a long trip. It was interesting country. Would have to be a better quail year for me to make that trip again, but hopefully i will. The behavior of the birds reminded me of hunting farm country bobwhites, maybe with less running. The above picture was of the last bird I shot. it is now at a taxidermist friend of mine. |

If you come back out again let's get together for a meal and discussion of guns and bird hunting.

Scott, we may not hook up with you this season, but maybe next down in the Patagonia area?
My partner and I will be finishing up the month of January down that way. I haven’t been in s/e AZ for a few years and look forward to seeing it once again! Best of luck! Wes |

The Project Upland podcast had one of the biologists from Arizona Fish and Game on, and he said that if anyone was planning a hunt down there to contact him so he could send you a box of quail wings to get a head start training your dog. His name is Jonathan O’Dell. If I can get my shorthair pup to figure out that she’s a bird dog, I plan to take her down there next year.
