donniedent Report post Posted October 3, 2005 Just had a question for you guys. I'm in Phx and I was looking at possibly taking the kids for an adventure up on New River Mesa for a quail hunt. How are the roads up there, usually? Is there private property? I've lived in Phx/Az all my life and I've never been up there. I already have some great spots for Quail but I'd like to see some new country. I imagine there might be a few carp up there to look at too. What do you guys think?

grizzly Report post Posted October 4, 2005 I spent two days archery in 21, a little north of Sunset point rest area, black and bare and not a deer nor a poop to be found. Very frustrating, since I had scouted and found a toad up there last year. Also alot of the roads that I took my truck on last year were no longer accessible because they had put up large mounds of dirt for erosion control. Hope you have better luck.

donniedent Report post Posted October 4, 2005 Thx Fellas. I hunted Mulies down below the mesa last Jan and got a shot at a nice buck but missed. I figured alot of it was burned but I wasn't sure if anything had started to move back in there. Right now I'm more interested in quail than carp. I might head up on top of the mesa for the heck of it anyway, if theres still water in those tanks up there the quail should be there. I'm just trying to find a place thats somewhat close to Phx that I can hunt without my dog Blue getting all torn up with cholla. Anyway, thx again guys.
