Parking trailers in forests prohibited during hunting season
Flagstaff, Ariz. – The Coconino National Forest is asking all northern
Arizona-bound hunters to refrain from leaving their trailers unattended in
the forest during the upcoming hunting season. In previous seasons, law
enforcement officers have found numerous trailers parked in the forests
for the purpose of reserving a location for the entire hunting season and
also because the individuals did not want to haul their trailers back and
forth.
Parking a trailer in the forest for this purpose violates Forest Service regu-
lations. If trailers are left unattended for more than 72 hours, the Forest
Service considers them abandoned property and may remove them from
the forest. Violators can also be cited for this action. Enforcing these
regulations protects the property and allows recreational users equal ac-
cess to national forests.
This regulation applies to all national forests in northern Arizona, includ-
ing the Coconino, Kaibab and Prescott forests.
For more information, contact the Coconino National Forest at
(928) 527-3600.
Letter from the President
AZPDC President
2013–2014
Wendy McNabb
It’s been a busy two months without a newsletter and I must apologize. I had every good intention
of sitting on the Lanai in Hawaii with a Coke and a laptop, but time just slipped away. During the
three weeks, I did however manage to concrete in some plans for upcoming events and overt a TOC
meltdown. Three weeks came and went in a flash! So here I am now.
So, let’s play a little catch up on the upcoming events with the club. Mark your calendars and watch
your email or mail for further information. First of all October 26th and 27th Ron Horn and Homer
Gribbon will be putting together another training weekend. Training, BBQ and camping up at the
High Desert Hunt Club. Second, November 9th, I have put together a “Fun Shoot and BBQ” at Ben
Avery for club members and families only. All you pay for is your shooting and the BBQ is on the
club. I am hoping that this is a good way to get everyone out together, no dogs, just some friendly
competition, some good food, seeing old friends and making new. And last on the agenda for now
is hold the date of March 29th for the Annual Awards Banquet and Dinner.
We were also set to have hunt test with the Grand Canyon Brittany Club, unfortunately it had to be
cancelled. Karen had the heartbreak of losing two of her dogs this summer and has since gone back
to work full time, leaving her little time to set up the joint hunt test. I will try to post each month
any information I have I upcoming events with any other clubs.
Thanks goes out to Jason Taylor for chairing the August Trial and Lese Page for helping. Marty
Elliott for taking on the last minute Chair of the TOC. Without him stepping up to the plate, we al-
most didn’t have a TOC on the date planned. And once again Lesa Page for all of her help with
TOC. If you made it out to the TOC or if you saw the photos I posted on the clubs Facebook page,
you will notice the crafty work of Jamie Brooks and Marty Elliott. Together they made a Winners
Podium for the winners of the trials to have their pictures taken. I hope in the future, all of the win-
ners will stay after every trial to have pictures like in the days gone by.
Lastly, I have had reports from three of the four committees that things are progressing nicely. If
you are on these committees, thank you for taking your valuable time to participate. Your participa-
tion helps the club now and going forward to be a success.
Until next month, happy hunting all!!!!
Wendy McNabb,
AZPDC President

Grilled Lemon-Pepper Quail Salad
Get the grill out and add a little zest to your next salad.
This recipe comes from Kansas’ Topeka Pheasants Forever chapter.
Ingredients
½ c. plus 2 T. olive oil
4 red onion slices, cut ½ inch thick
6 T. fresh lemon juice
8 c. torn romaine lettuce
½ t. Tabasco sauce
Lemon wedges
1 t. dried or 1 T. fresh thyme
1 c. thinly sliced red bell pepper
1 c. crumbled feta cheese
8 boneless, skinless quail breast
Directions
Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Tabasco, thyme, salt and pepper to blend in small saucepan. Arrange breast pieces and onion slices on a
plate. Spoon 4 tablespoons of dressing over mean and onions; turn pieces to coat evenly on all sides. Let sit for 5 minutes. Prepare
barbeque grill and get coals glowing to medium hot. Put saucepan with remaining dressing at edge of the grill so it will become
warm but not extremely hot. Grill breast halves and onion slices over hot part of grill until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per
side. Transfer meat and onion to another plate. Separate onion into rings and cut breast halves into bite-size pieces.
Place lettuce in large bowl. Add meat, onion and bell pepper. Add warm dressing and toss to coat. Season salad to taste with salt and
pepper. Divide salad between four plates, garnishing with feta cheese and lemon wedges just before serving. Serve with fresh pita
bread.

Rick and Ronnie Smith Foundation Seminar
Feb 21, 22, & 23, 2014 here in Coolidge AZ.
This seminar is great for those who are just starting with bird dogs to those that have been into bird dogs for decades. There
is something for all to gain knowledge.
Cost is $400.00 per person attending the seminar and
Friday evening is check-in where Rick will go over what will be happening over Sat & Sunday, and there will be Q&A .
I have hosted many of Smith Foundation Seminars and there is always something to learn that makes one a better dog han-
dler, and/or teacher. If you don't have a dog yet or are coming from a distance to attend, there will be loaner dogs to help get
that hands on experience. Note; the seminar is for the people to learn dos & don'ts, and get help with dogs by going through
things allowing owners/handlers and the dog to become a working team through leadership and leaving out the dictatorship.
If you are interested in the seminar, it has limited entries. If you plan to attend please send a $50.00 deposit check made out
to Rick Smith with your name and phone number and email address to: Arlette Hennessey 774 N Wheeler Rd Coolidge AZ
85128.
The checks will be held and handed to Rick on Feb 21... NO CHECK WILL BE CASHED UNTIL AFTER THE SEMI-
NAR.
Please do not wait until the last minute as to seminars have been cancelled because people failed to send in their deposits
and leaving the host to think they failed to meet the minimum participants. Please take into consideration that Rick and/or
Ronnie when conducting these seminars have to cover their expenses for coming out (Flight, Hotel, Car , rental, & Meals
etc)
THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR SELF CONTAINED CAMPING AT THE 774 N. WHEELER SITE!
Punkin Center Youth Quail Camp........... October 11-13 Quail Forever is partnering with the Mule Deer Foundation to host a youth quail hunt-
ing camp. We have been very lucky to receive an exceptional grant from AZG&F to put on this
camp. We NEED more volunteers - mentors, dog handlers, camp managers, etc. Please reach out
to me directly to let me know what you'd like to do.
We also are welcoming all the Friends of Quail Forever kids to come join the camp. It's going to be a
great weekend for the whole family - come join in - we have everything.
Quail Check Stations......... October 5 & 6 is quail season opening weekend and AZG&F has said we can spend some time at
their check stations, talking with quail hunters. We still need volunteers to spread the Quail Forever
word.
In the future............. Quail Forever has applied for a Beginners Dove Hunt camp grant for late November or early Decem-
ber to be held near Robbins Butte. This if for folks new to doves - young or old. Seasoned dove
hunters, we need your help providing guidance. Rookies - sign up to get a great introduction to the
exciting world of doves. Again, we'd supply everything - from ammo to guns to instruction. Dates to
be determined (based on grant funding) but keep it on your radar.

training grounds are in the South. As George travels extensively all inquiries should be directed to the Pennsylvania office:
