Desert Monkey & Ringtail
Matt Tanner posted a topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
I just finished up a quail hunt with a fella that owns a wildlife museum in MN he would like to get a Coati and a ringtail to add to his collection if any of you would be willing to go and bag a couple of these critters and keep them in mountable condition, I can give you a bit of $ for your time and gas. Thanks Matt Tanner -
GREAT day for mearns
Matt Tanner replied to IHunt2live's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
Looks like you had a fine day! Its been pretty tough this year for sure. It seems like some areas had a hatch and some didn't this year. I have been out a ton and have heard very few shots fired besides the people I am hunting with. Nice hunt and those are some nice looking dogs! I would love to see a few pointing shots if you got em. I have one pic of my little Star I am really proud of this year. Ok Maybe two -

Mearns Mounts

Here is her Name and # Penny Shellenbarger 406-646-9232 Email is quailmounts@msn.com I think she might have some birds already done for sale at her house. she has very reasonable prices. I sure like mine. -
I got my Mounted birds back on Saturday night. I am loving them, they were done by Penny Shellenbarger in Patagonia AZ. she had them done in two weeks. I love Mearns Quail and now I get to look at them everyday.

What about a New Topic?
Matt Tanner replied to gonhntn's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
I like this Idea. I am a Pointer guy Cant get enough of them. I also run NSTRA field trials. I Personally cant think of anything better than watching a dog on point. Style Intensity drive determination. A thought on the 870 Who do you think gets more birds a guy with a $5000 dollar shotgun or the guy with a $5000 dollar Bird dog? Guns are just tools to get the desired result. Bird dogs find the desired result. -
it ended up being a good year, I still think last year was a better year for the mearns, but the dogs were still able to find on average 8 coveys a day. this is a little movie I put together some still shots and some good action. Enjoy!!!

Year of the Mearns is over
Matt Tanner replied to IHunt2live's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
Nice job, looks like you had a great hunt. I think what the Game and fish meant by this is the best year for mearns ever. is the amount of money they generated off of 3 day small game hunting licenses . It was a great year there was a TON of people out there but all in all if you worked hard you got paid off by a covey of mearns jumping out of your toes. I saw almost two hundred covey rises this year each was just as thrilling as the first, Cant wait till November to start it all again. -

Lucky you got your honky tonk dog when you did it looks like he has went all in on Rock acre blackhawk. Nice site though and a bunch of nice looking animals. I think I will try a touch of Rock acre blood some day. I would like to take a peek at you dogs pedigree if you have a chance and would like to share. I will be gone for christmas so I will be away for awhile but after that maybe -
Windshield time...
Matt Tanner replied to Chef's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
Where did you get him? who is the dam and sire? Looking at him I would bet there is a bit of Guardrail in him as well? rebel blood -
Windshield time...
Matt Tanner replied to Chef's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
Nice job I have had more trouble finding scaled than any other species this year I would bet if you drove down that mtn and went a bit closer to the golf course you would have had no trouble at all getting your gambles . that is a fine looking pointer!! thanks for the story. -

So just remember next time you do a double Wiff on a covey there is a Lady out there that can do it better than you
