2019-2020 Arizona Quail Season

Gambels and Scaled: October 18, 2019 through February 9, 2020

Mearns: December 6, 2019 through February 9, 2020

Outlook:
Outlook for 2019-2020 season. We had above average winter and spring rains statewide and expect an improved season for Gambels and Scaled quail in all of the areas we hunt. We have continued to scout to expand our locations and private ranch opportunities. The extremely tall grasses in the primary Mearns habitat areas last year will increase the hold over and if we have normal or better rains this summer we should have a very good Mearns season.
