DUG Report post Posted October 4, 2012 Who is going out tomorrow? I am going to my usual spot at Tonto Basin. It sucked last year but maybe will be better this year. Good luck and be safe for all of you going out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanley Report post Posted October 4, 2012 Wish I could get out there tomorrow. Nothing like the opening day of bird season! Unfortunately I'm buried in work tomorrow. Then on Saturday/Sunday my boys have a rowing competition (Crew) that I need to be at, so I won't be out on opening weekend this year. Post a report please! S.

Big Browns Report post Posted October 4, 2012 Watch out of Snakes! I usually always see a few snakes opening weekend! Let us know how Tonto Basin is this year, because your right last year sucked! Adam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naturegirl Report post Posted October 5, 2012 I think with the wetter weather at least on the east side it should be a great season. I had about a hundred of em in my backyard a couple days ago (i dont feed them but i have a couple native trees that do) it sure was a lot of them together making a ruckus!

DUG Report post Posted October 5, 2012 My spot sucked again.... It was fun to get out though. Got 2 birds and some exercise......Anybody else do any good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jcubed Report post Posted October 5, 2012 I'm thinking about going out early in the morning but my usual spots here around Tucson have not had any birds sighted or heard recently. Thus, I'm thinking about heading down south but don't really know a direction to go...Tomorrow may be a bit of an adventure... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jcubed Report post Posted October 6, 2012 Pretty much what I figured but I can hunt and glass for deer in my unit. Seems like a win win... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector777 Report post Posted October 6, 2012 Got 11 down at Tonto Basin today. My brother had 9. Could have easily limited if I could have hit the broad side of a barn! haha but was still fun. Only one spot we found had all the quail. Every other place we tried we didn't see any sign of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jcubed Report post Posted October 7, 2012 Ditched the quail idea in favor of scouting for deer. Sure am glad I did...didn't see nor hear any quail in the area I was at. Deer on the other hand, I saw some good signs for the upcoming hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jcubed Report post Posted October 8, 2012 Out again today in a different location...Empire ranch aka las cienegas national conservation area. Didn't see or hear and quail all afternoon. Not only that but decided I wouldn't even shoot if I did jump any as the grass was up to my chest. Made for walking to be pretty interesting at times down near the water. Did see a group of mulies, handful of whitetail, some antelope, and nice coues shed. Also ran across a rattler who wasn't too happy to see me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
