Description

Enjoy an unforgettable wingshooting experience in Arizona with Orvis-endorsed guide Mark Nissen. The rugged vistas of the cowboy West are home to three species of Arizona quail: the Mearns, the Gambel’s, and the scaled or blue quail. The Gambel’s and scalies will be found in the desert, in an undulating sea of grass, rocks, cactus, and yucca that is at once harsh and beautiful. You will find it difficult to believe that a dozen or more of these birds could be off the end of a Brittany’s nose in cover that couldn’t hide an ant. Take that one last step and the air will fill with whirring wings. Mearns, by contrast, will insist that you lace your boots tight, pack a water bottle, and burn a few calories. They inhabit the oak hillsides and washes that are found above 4000 feet. They will make you sweat, they will make you swear, and they will make you laugh, but to hold one in hand, taken on the wing and over a point is to hold the Stanley Cup of quail. You may be a little tired and you may be a little sore, but more than anything you will be ready to find another covey. Hunting Mearns is that good. We have hunted these birds in T-shirts and lunched on the tailgate with an inch of snow crunching under our boots. The contrasts in these hunts are part of what keep folks coming back. There is nothing vanilla about the birds, the cover or the country.
