AZ quail

[Walt lister]

My friend Steve has come down from northern CA for his annual quail foray into the desert som we headed out north of Wickenburg to see if we could find a few. There has been a small amount of greenup, we have recieved about an inch of rain in the last six weeks. Beautiful day, about 60* with a light breeze.

Steve is on the hillside somewhere with his dog

We found a nice large covey and after the second long flush they started working well and even though I chose the wrong hillside to work and only ended up with one bird, Steve bagged eight.

To hand

Old man makes like crab at the fence, the gun did not touch the sand.

Thanks for sharing, Walt. I've been enjoying the sunny AZ weather for the last week, but have to head home tomorrow.
