Az. Fish & Game agent: “Yeah, the Mearns numbers seem to be really down this year. Dry spring and summer did a number on ’em. So what are you guys hunting out here?”
Us: “Mearns”
AZF&G: “Oh.”
“We scouted that road last weekend. It’s pretty rough, and **** ‘s truck wouldn’t make it, but I’m sure your rig will be fine.”
“Hmmm….where do you think those folks are going on ATV’s, in head-to-toe camo, ski masks and handguns?”
“Note to self – when you go on a road trip, bring the keys to the locking gas cap.”
“Javelina’s are basically just big cranky rodents on steroids.”
“We could always move down lower and see if we can find some Gambel’s…”
“I’m not ready to slum with Gambel’s yet.”
“That’s gotta be the weirdest Johnny Cash song ever.”
“Looks like that big pot of beef stew flipped over in the back of your truck.”
“Should he be chewing on that?
“Well, till next year.”
“Yep.”

Oh, excellent. I’ve been looking for the right word to describe my duck season. “Quest” appears to be perfect!
Chasing birds and dogs is better than work any day!
Great summation of that weekend.
“Note to self – when you go on a road trip, bring the keys to the locking gas cap.”
Ummm…yeah.
