William "Web" S. Parton, professional bird dog trainer and former guide, hunts Arizona almost every day of the season. As a result, he knows the birds and the terrain of this undiscovered hunter’s paradise better than anyone. Arizona has the best dove and western quail hunting in America as well as some superior waterfowling. With over 75% of the land public, hunting access is not a problem. Chapters include topics such as hunting in the desert, how to take care of your dog, and the dangers of venomous reptiles and javalinas and how to avoid them. Every section of the state is covered, including motels that allow dogs, restaurants, guides, outfitters, lodges, airports, and much more. Arizona also has exceptional hunting on vast Indian reservations. Parton covers each reservation and the birds to be found there. With a bird season that extends into February, there is no better place for a late season hunt than Arizona.
