Thanks for the photos. I'm reading this on a 4 degree day with snow falling for the 4th straight day. No skin peeling here!

So, what quail species are the dogs pointing in your photos? I've never been hunting for Mearns quail, but I'd assume that was one of the other species in those photos of the dogs pointing...? I always imagined more grass cover for Mearns habitat.

Gambel's were being pointed. We did get a covey of pointed Mearn's and my cocker Ellie flushed a couple coveys of Mearn's for us as well.
