Quail in AZ?

well, as long as I wear my same boots I will have no problem stepping on a few again.

Sure saves on the cost of ammo, when all it takes is a size 11 boot :D

Anyway, like I said before the doves and quail are in abundance in my back yard. now, just wish they were half as abundant in the fields I hunt.

UniversalFrost, If you want to get them without firing a shot just use some sno-cone cups, a little contact cement and some dried corn. Put the contact cment on the lip of the sno cone and lay it on its side. Then place a piece of dried corn in the end of the sno cone. Then a couple of more pieces leading up to the sno cone. The quail will eat the dried corn and try to get the one piece in the end of the sno cone. When it does the sno cone will stick to its feathers. Thus all the bird can then do is stand up with a sco cone on its head. Once you have a few bobbing around just go over and pick them up.;)
 
I can't say I have seen a lot of quail myself this year. Back in Safford, I could find all the doves I wanted to shoot. Never have cared for the meat, so I don't shoot them. Jackrabbits were in abundance as well, took down quite a few with the H&K Tactical.

I haven't gotten out a whole lot in the Sedona area so I really can't say what the quail and dove population is like around here. I can tell you there are some really nice bucks running around the east side of town, too bad you can't hunt in the city limits even with a bow.

I can tell you that to my knowledge shooting quail with anything other than a shotgun is illegal. Sorry to say it but a BB gun doesn't count as a scattergun. At least that is what the game and fish officer for unit 27 told me when I was in hunter safety class and at his house, since I was good friends with his grandson. Of course he has since retired and that was about 10 years ago, so maybe it has changed.
