Montezuma/Mearns quail

[Luis]

After wanting to hunt these quail the last couple of years, I went this year and found a few. Found them without a dog. Once I located their habitat, finding them was not too difficult. The road trip there and back was excellent, no snow on the roads either way.

Pretty birds. What state?

Arizona. They had an unusual snow the second week of January with low temperatures this year. Glad I had my wool cover.

Beautiful birds. I’ve always wondered where people hunted them at but have never done much research on them. Maybe one of these days I’ll go chase them.

I'm going to check that box this coming season too, congrats!

We are going to spend some quality time on them as well. Probably head south around the first of December, hunt into late February.
She’s never been stylish but her nose has always been solid. Couple of blue grouse couple of days ago.

It’s been far to long since I’ve chased Mearn’s quail

I think I’ll go find them this fall. Awful pretty bird and on my quail list to chase.
