Scoutting Quail in AZ

[2fastnaz]

We went out this weekend and did some scouting for Quail. Saw more than 10 coveys (gambel), most with more than 15 birds. Could be a good season. Do any of you other AZ guys think numbers are up this year. It seems like it to me.

oh yeah,
Quail seem to have made a comeback this year from what I've seen......2 more months

Hi quailhunter... I forgot where south of Tucson you said you lived? Have you checked around Green Valley? I was there in Dec. and man there were a lot of them buggers there.

I would say this is the best year for quail I have seen in a while. Been seeing big coveys and it looks like lots of the first year birds made it.

I always see tons of quail, but thats mainly cause I fish the lakes and there is always water around.

The large ammount of rain arizona got in march/april helped out the youngins, i watched a couple of coveys drop chicks and 80% have lived. Last year the rate was about 30%.
