Arizona Wanderings

Fishing, Hunting, and Roaming around the Southwest

Maybe it’s a prayer, maybe it’s a hymn. Mostly it’s a love letter to birdhunting and the dogs that make it worth it.

In 2016, archeologists unearthed a mosaic from the 3rd century BC in Southern Turkey. Its slogan, written above a bread-lounging, wine-drinking skeleton, read: ‘be cheerful, live your life.’ (Image: Dosseman CC by SA 4.0)

Had a great season chasing Gambles quail with Sunny, but this final morning was simply the best. Hot chocolate, rock collecting, and a beautiful male bird off a solid Sunny point. What a way to wrap up the season #sunnydog #outdoorkidsarehappykids

Hot day in the desert fighting cholla, but we found a few birds to hold tight. Trying to squeeze all the goodness out of the hunt as the season is almost at its end #arizona #uplandhunting #sunnydog

The continuing presence in SE AZ of one male jaguar in the Dos Cabezas/Chiricahua Mtns. & one male ocelot in the Huachuca Mtns. was confirmed this month by @azgfdTucson. The jaguar has been there since 2016; the ocelot, since 2012. AZGFD file photos.

I've been wearing the @LowaBoots Camino GTX for the past year. Safe to say, I really like them - https://t.co/vbvSZgvDGQ

This old fly rod was owned by my wife’s uncle. My friend Mike at Agua Fria Alchemy stripped it down and refinished it. Finally had a chance to stretch its legs and bloody it on a few trout. #aguafriaalchemy #arizona #flyfishing

General Tso’s quail, quail wild rice, and a bottle of cheap wine is how we roll. Two smoking recipes from @huntgathercook #dadcooksdinner #hunttoeat

She’s not perfect and polished and that’s my fault, but this girl finds birds #birddog #gsp #mearnsquail #sunnydog
