This is a great time of year to be out exploring Arizona’s high desert (AKA Mearns Land).Recent storms have added much needed  moisture to the mountains and Valley floor.Scenting conditions have improved but the good news is it sets us up for a great next season.

A lot of creeks are now running,which may not sound like a big deal but when you live in the Desert running water is music to your ears ..the dogs like it also.Hunters from all over are liking it also.The are swapping the cold of the north for our  balmy conditions,getting out with their dogs and enjoying more time in the field.As we say down here “it’s all good Amigos” .
