Fox Collectors

This photo almost shows the dry air and bright light. Both sure signs of no rain again this year in the desert which equals few birds and tough conditions for the dogs.
The upside is that I get to take guns like this 20Ga 26" CE for a nice walk and even occasionally scratch down a bird like this female Mearns.

I read some other ppl's reports that said the mearns hunting this year was not very good.

Yes it is pretty slow for all 3 species this year but I do love the country from the oak covered grassland on the border to the Saguaro and cholla desert. Of course it is a chance to use the guns a bit
