Last winter I went rabbit hunting a few times on the State Land in Oro Valley/Catalina. Until then, I hadn't been hunting since I left Louisiana 20+ years ago. In fact, I bought a Jeep (a red one, so I could find it out in the desert) with the intention of getting back into hunting. I’m also interested in dove, quail, and/or rabbit hunting.

Haven't gone in years, but IIRC, dove season is in September. (Gotta Google quail season.) I don't shoot bunnies until after a freeze (weeds out most of the parasite-infected ones). Larger game tags are usually by lottery and I haven't bothered since my hunting buddy stopped hunting. I've gone javalina hunting twice and enjoyed the camping with friends more than I did the hunting. We had HAM tags (Handgun, Archery, Muzzleloader) so we also harvested some bunnies while we were out there... .44 Magnums really put 'em down. Drop me a line if you'd like to try doves this year. I know a coupla good spots. I only do bird and bunny hunting, but I’ve got a spare double-barrel 12 gauge. Haven’t gone in years, but IIRC, dove season is in September. (Gotta Google quail season.)
