Wade, I had to drive to town today, giving me a chance to think along the way in Montana. My thoughts were about your post. It was really a good one. I hunt the desert, mostly in New Mexico, where quail were very scarce this year. Enjoyed your photography so much, especially the Indian pictographs, and your wirehaired drinking out of the "bowl". We sometimes find similar examples of Indian habitation, but not nearly the pictograph examples you show. Thanks
I see you have bootied up your dogs with innertubes. What desert plant are you avoiding ? In New Mexico, my wirehaired pointers don't need boots and just trample prickly pear. But then again, my wirehairs are not really the great desert quail dogs that Brits and pointers can be. Too much heat , sometimes.
