Heading down to Arizona for Mearns this year. I'd like to try and fine a few scalies while I am there... Does anyone know of any scalies around the patagonia area?

Head down to southeastern CO and you'll find plenty of blues running around down there near Campo, etc. I hunt around Keyes, OK and we take our fair share.

Call the Arizona Game & Fish office in Tucson.

See if they will direct you to Kurt Bahti the WM who lives in Patagonia. He'd know.

You will be hunting my "backyard" down that way.. I hunt Mearns religously in the winter.. that area will have plenty of Mearns and you might even run into a covey or 2 of Gambels, but Scalies wont be in that exact area.. But you wont be too far off from some Scalie action!! Go east from Sonoita and you'll find good Scalie country.. Maybe 30-40 min from the Patagonia area! Good luck and hopefully you'll find a covey or two!

Thanks fellas. I have hunted the Patagonia area a couple times but it has been 4 years and it was only for mearns. I'd like to add a few scalies....

How have the rains been this year in AZ?????

I have been told there's some good bird hunting around Wilcox, in SE AZ. Does anyone know about this area?
