Re: Phoenix Arizona Quail hunt

Also, I would bring my dogs because Gambels are notorious for getting shot but still managing to run under the biggest, nastiest, prickly pear cactus and are utterly unfindable without a dog.

I am certainly not a Veterinarian, but it looks to me that your dog certainly needs medical attention. More than just bandages and cleanings. That looks painful. Good luck with it.
