The State of Arizona is famous for its outstanding scenery, excellent climate and of course the Grand Canyon.
In Wing Shooting circles Arizona is also known for great “Desert Quail “hunting and the “go to” destination once winter roles into other locations or seasons elsewhere close.
The State of Arizona offers the quail shooter the opportunity to pursue three species of Quail, liberal bag limits and a long season.
Lisa and I live in Patagonia AZ which is located in South East corner of Arizona; we are surrounded by the Coronado National Forest, which is home to the best Mearns Quail hunting in the United States. Gambles Quail and Scaled Quail can be found a short distance away as we have plenty of Grassland Savannahs and mesquite lined washes that these two Quails call home. From November to April our string of six Brittany’s and six English Pointers spend most of the days in the Field hunting, then training on these great game birds

The Area
South East Arizona lies within the grasslands and mountain ranges of the Sonoran Desert the scenery and low population density ensures there are plenty of things to do in the great outdoors the Town of Patagonia is very laid back and friendly, it is home to some good to great restaurants, shops and art galleries, non-hunters will have no problem enjoying themselves Arizona Guided Quail Hunts.
