Catching up with old friend of the show Ed Bangs. I went to Arizona again quail hunting with friends in the winter and had a good shoot down there. The Mern's Quail are in pretty good shape. Most of the desert quail are doing poorly because of the drought we have been having for so long but the Mern's Quail are spotty but we had some good shooting. Where do Quail typically get their water? A lot of them get them from seeds but they also have guzzlers set out, then there are little creeks too but in the desert country it is so dry that the desert Quail who depend more on winter rains, aren't doing so well. But the Mern's Quail seem to get by on the monsoons in the summer rain and seem to be doing okay. What is the flight pattern of the Mern's Quail? you can't hunt them without a dog because you can just up bout step on them and they won't flush. They kick up and fly and try and get around a tree for cover.
