Shoot those damn coyotes and save some deer fawns. Last one i shot was chasing a full grown doe at my favorite spring.

for sure tough hunting those chukars......kinda like the vly quail around here......once shot at they very spooky and always looking for the back door.....best with two hunters......

for myself mountain quail are best eating birds I've hunted.......sweet white meat that can't be best........

gobble on........

Yeah, two or more since we dont have dogs. Those guys who have good pointers always make me envious.

I agree mountain quail are very fine eating. Around where im at ten years ago we had lots of mountain quail. Valley too down lower, with chuckar hard to find. Now outside of one failsafe we cant find a quail to save our lives, and there are chuckar every where. Even down low in the houses.

Coyotes actually help with the out of control deer population. Lots of deer, plus a shrinking ecosystem, means they are ravaging the undergrowth in the forest. Basically, there's not enough food for the large population, at least that's the case here in Massachusetts.

There's so many deer here that a local NATURE SANCTUARY held a limited hunt to cull their numbers. People were fucking confused lol.

SsNice stories guys!
I leave in Europe, and when I was young, my father, a bow hunter, was going to hunt in Arizona during 6 summers (1989-1995).
0ne time, he had a turkey; he even had a graduate awarded for the farthest shot of the year I think...

Big up

You are talking whitetails in populated areas. I am talking mule deer in desert ecosystems.

We also have mountain lions. No where can I think of one muley or blacktail herd that is exceeding it's range. Maybe moffat county Colorado, but last years winter decimated muleys across that buck paradise.

I like this guy! Nice pictures. Yourself and your son seem to have a nice freezer full. You mind if I ask if it is oak blue grass habitat and do you buck hunt there?
