The game department tried to introduce California quail to eastern Arizona in the 1960s, but the program apparently failed everywhere except along a short stretch of the Little Colorado River between Eagar and South Fork
We don't have many of them, but they're still here. The last time I saw a covey was this past September, when six or seven birds flew across the highway west of the log factory as I was driving to Springerville for groceries.
Seeing Sherman's title "Quail Slam Done" made me wonder if he had taken all four types of quail legal to hunt here.
Has anyone done it?
