I am planning a trip this fall to hunt quail in New Mexico. I was hoping to harvest four different species in on trip, Bobwhite, Scaled, Mearn's and Gambel's.

I have just started my research on public hunting places. Right now I am planning on just heading to Artesia and start from there. I have been disapointed that New Mexico has not published their dates for the seasons yet.

Any tips are welcomed.

Condition your dogs and break in your boots. Scaled (or Blue) quail are a blast if you can get them to fly.

Hey i live in New Mexico, I haven't heard about the hunting in Artesia being good,but in Socorro is great ,and Los Lunas has a lot of Quail on the mesa near the mountains.Our season usually starts late September or early November. Also we have to draw for Pheasant here in Valencia County ,but in socrro you can hunt them just with a regular licence,try it there are so many Pheasant out with the quaiol and dove.
