Armed hiking in the heat

[walter]

Just found this site and will be looking in regularly. I'm getting up in years but still am good for a few hours when it's not so darned hot like it was on the opener. Had to give up before 10:00AM but will be back when it cools.Here's a report I posted on other sites.
Too hot, too early in the year but AZ Game & Fish decided to open the quail season sept 30.
Near the only stock pond with any water in this area.

Should be full of quail tracks but not seeing any---bad sign

Lucien takes a look around

Not that far from the car and already starting to feel the heat

Even my shadow is hot

Put in three miles by about 9:30 and it's 94*. Too hot for me so gave up. Unly saw one 20/25 bird covey and managed two long shots resulting only in a few feathers. I'll wait for cooler weather.

It was brutal out there that first weekend. Nice to see the temperatures dropping and it will be interesting to see how the season takes shape in these next couple of weeks. Good luck to you Walt...
