2019-20 Mearns Quail Hunting

[George "Scott" Davis]

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.
