Thanks for the notice Steve.
Sorry to say I'll be hunting muleys in WY. Well, I'm not sorry, I guess, but I'd help if I could.

1. Do you need dog handlers?

2. are the kids already picked or is there openings to get other kids in?

How did this hunt go? I often go out to MNP but seldom see quail.

I took my 9 yo out, our guide Jerry was great. We saw several small coveys of quail and chukar but none would get into the air. Everything was running, could have to do with all the rain and the winds. In one area you could see the mud had flowed about 3 feet deep, and there was low green everywhere. Jerry mentioned he was out about once a week in MNP and usually saw quail but the rains in July/Aug/Sept changed everything. I also found out there are around 212 guzzlers in the MNP, I got the map and have been entering them into the gps. I have always seen quail in the MNP, we camp there a lot, but never large coveys, I hope el nino changes that.

My kid didnt get any quail, but won a 870 20ga in the raffle.

That's awesome last time I was out there I saw quail in the mid hills campground in a water bib where you can't shoot them ...... Didn't see any anywhere else camped three days out there visiting guzzlers.
