Small Game Hunting on the San Carlos
If you ever went hunting on public land and found it to be a bit crowded and not so productive, you may want to give us a call to set up a great hunt you will not soon forget. With 3 species of quail, squirrels, rabbits etc. to hunt, any hunter may leave believing he has experienced a hunt of a lifetime. So many times here at Apache Outdoors, we have heard hunters complain of how they had hunted on public lands with little to no success in their hunting venture. When we hear this from our clients, we strive to make certain their hunt with us will be better. When we guide our clients, we try to go to areas not hunted by other hunters often so we know that our clients will get a great hunt and an honest effort from our guides for the species they are after. many times we get hunters who want to shoot as many shells as they can in a day but we believe that if we put ourselves out there and teach as well as guide, the hunter leaves with a better understanding of the outdoors and a new found appreciation for the game they are after.
For the avid quail hunter, we usually get hunters who have hunted mostly gambles quail but when they hunt a day with us they have a great new understanding of the species of quail we have on the San Carlos. Hunting the mearns quail takes some effort and stamina. But after a day of hunting a bit more rugged areas for these quail one can have a good feeling of accomplishment for pursuing the ever so challenging mearns quail. Also we have the scaled quail or "blue quail". Scalies as they are most likely know around these parts, they can be a tough bird to hunt as they are great runners and usually inhabit areas wide open and grassy with many hidden rocks. They can cover several hundred yards in a single chase and can evade a hunter with ease. So when you do find a good covey you can hunt, you may have one of the best times hunting the quail. We at Apache Outdoors also like to practice good ethics and usually try not to hunt the same area twice in a single season unless the bird numbers previously were in the several hundreds. But with over a half a million acres to chase the quail, it would be hard to hunt the same areas more than once in a single season.
Apache Outdoors is committed to providing you with an experience you will never forget. We try to keep our ethics in check at all times and strongly advise all hunters wishing to hunt here on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation to respect our lands and not to throw trash in the field. Also we believe it is great ethics to pick up all empty shells on our hunts and pick up old shells we find in the field. So if you would like to give us a try with your next small game trip, we will be more than happy to meet all your expectations or do our very best to exceed them.
