Quail: What to Expect 2021-2022

[rcorley]

On my 2021-2022 Ariz Quail Reports page:

Sept. 12 I wrote a "What to Expect" note for all three of our Az species.

Sept. 23 reported on two scouting trips/hikes with the Britts.

Just in case you're interested. . . . . I live in central Ariz.

Thanks. Enjoyed it immensely.

Thanks for the note PRDATR.

Am guessing that in most areas of the state it will be a year to "limit your limit."

We should see pockets of ave to below ave bird numbers.

Last year's non-monsoon and very dry winter followed by this summer's great July-Aug rains is unique.

All the best, Bob C.

Sorry to read of your loss of Belle.  Thanks for the quail report.  My hopes are resting on the Mearns.

+1 on Mearns, Doug!   Hopeful based on the generous monsoon this year.  🙏🏼
 

Anxious to get my new partner out there this fall.

Red Rabbit, Belle was a beautiful soul and the Alpha in my kennel for many years.  She was almost 12 so got to enjoy her for some good years.  Ah man.  You get a good one with all the time in the field and the loss is felt even more acutely.  It's a heartbreaker for sure.

I've got cameras on 5 different waterholes and not one of them had quail coming to drink. I was so bummed. I have seen a couple coveys out scouting for deer but the numbers are way down compared to last year. Thanks for the report. That is some very good information.
