I have wrapped things up on the guiding front . It is time for me to get out and enjoy the great Arizona Outdoors and my dogs,needless to say I am enjoying it.Friday was great ,I loaded 8 pointing dogs (including Dixie ) and Tish and headed out to hunt Scaled and Gambles Quail, chase is the best way to describe the hunting.First out was Dixie who at 12 weeks old scored here first recorded point on the "puppy' Covey then Ted ,Sam, Spot and Hilda connected with 2 coveys of Gambles and 2 coveys of Scaled Quail .We had classic bits and pieces of Dog work , running birds that would jump up wild and some very long shots .Tish did a great Job on two road coveys flushing and retrieving the birds I shot.
Okie , Slick and Buddy got into a covey of Scaled Quail that ran for 100 yards before they flew.
All in all a great day and typical for late season hunting .
