About this listen

We walk through a late-season Arizona quail hunt that starts rough in open creosote and ends with a hard-earned double, with honest lessons on heat, dogs, gear, and calling. Warm, dry winter patterns, small coveys, and rattlesnake risk reshaped how we moved, rested, and recovered birds.

• choosing terrain that holds birds and supports dogs
• mistakes that cost birds, including an empty chamber
• managing heat stress and reading dog warning signs
• calling strategy to locate coveys without burning energy
• GPS interference issues and fast recalibration fixes
• safe retrieves around glass, cactus and washes
• covey size trends and warm, dry winter impacts
• late-season tactics for wild-flushing Gambel’s
• rattlesnake awareness and risk management
• quick note on a recent Mearns hunt and plans ahead
