I just move out here summer of '11. There hasn't been a real monsoon season since around 2008 from what I hear. The quail have all but dried up, except for in the neighborhoods. Trust me, I've heard stories about how amazing the quail hunting CAN be, but guys are hunting ALL day to find a covey of a dozen birds or so. It's really bad out here right now. You might have more ducks overall up there, but it's pretty tough to beat the duck hunting here. Plenty of birds, and very few duck hunters. Of course, the lakes are drying up, and there isn't a river south of Caballo anymore unless it's irrigation season, so the hunting can be a little tough. I'm really hoping that the rains really take off next year(probably not happening this year, we've gotten one rain since Jan. in town).

No pheasants up there. There used to be a game farm, but the guy shut down a few years ago. I would love to find some to put my springer on. She'd make a helluva pheasant dog, but there's nowhere around to put her on any.

I don't miss the Goat Heads either. That's just torture for the dogs.
Please God, give me some good tags this year....

They're absolutely miserable.
