GEAR:
Some clothing you should bring: safety glasses, a foul weather jacket, briar proof pants, hat with a visor, light weight leather field boots (vibram soles), waterproof boots, sweater, rain coat and pants, sun glasses, sun screen, chapstick, water bottle and a game vest. We will be hunting between 3,000 and 6,500 feet so be prepared for occasional inclement weather. You must supply your own gun. I recommend 7½ or 8 shot for quail and 8 or 9 shot for dove. A good soft cooler is needed to carry your birds home.
DOGS:
If you decide to bring your dogs you must understand that you and your dogs are hunting in a desert environment. Hazards your dog may encounter while hunting quail in Arizona include the following: javelina, coyotes, porcupines, skunks, mountain lions, bobcats, jaguars, bears, coatimundi, snakes, dehydration, heat stroke, cactus, sand burrs, mesquite thorns, invasive weed and grass seeds, abandoned mine shafts and valley fever - a potentially deadly fungal disease.
TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE:
Clients are responsible for their own trip cancellation insurance. For information on trip cancellation insurance go to travelguard/Sportsmans .
