I'd love to shoot the quail of the desert SW.
I did AZ for the first time this year. To call it humbling would be an understatement.
I've done trips to 8 states for wild birds plus my home state. Never got it handed to me like desert quail.
Got 100% skunked hunting scalies in TX. AZ saw plenty of birds, nearly all right next to someone's house. 6 days I shot at 3 coveys.
It was surely worth the trip, but even late season WIHA in KS is way easier, and that's no picnic.
