As a result, he knows the birds and the terrain of this undiscovered bird hunter's paradise better than anyone. Arizona has the best dove and western quail hunting in America, as well as some superior waterfowling. What's more, hunting access is not a problem. Over 75% of all the land in the state is public! Web covers the birds--where to find them and how to hunt them. He presents several chapters on hunting in the desert, how to take care of our dog, and the dangers of venemous reptiles and javalinas and how to avoid them. September-hard 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. Web covers each reservation and the birds found there. With this guide you can plan your hunt, choose an area and species, book your guide, or go it on our own. Either way, you'll have a great hunt! Specially bound to lay flat for easy reference and the perfect size to fit in your glove box. With a bird season that extends into February there is no better place for a late season hunt than Arizona.

Wingshooter's Guide to Arizona January 18, 2008
birddogdoc (Castle Rock, CO USA)
I would strongly recommend this book to anyone going to AZ to hunt quail. Web Parton does an excellent job in writing this book...he's entertaining as well as informative.
 Mixed feelings about it, overall a good book June 17, 2005

I have mixed feelings about this book - it is a book packed with info & I imagine it would be very helpful to somebody who had never lived in Arizona & who wasn't already familiar with our native birds. So, if you don't know what the heck a Gambel's Quail is or what they look like, I'd imagine this would be the book for you. On the other hand, as someone who grew up in Tucson I can tell you that you'll still be a long way from finding any birds w/ this book in hand. It has general areas where birds can be found - but nothing that helped me find any more birds in the field than I found have found anyway...as a traveling wingshooter you'd still need another resource to help tell you exactly where to go (whether it be the guy at the gas station in Sonoita or a buddy who hunts doves near Picacho, etc)

I HAVE NEVER READ A BOOK WITH MORE FEELING, KNOWLEDGE, AND JUST PLAIN "SMARTS" AS THIS BOOK BY "WEB" PARTON. I"M A VERY EXPERIENCED HUNTER AND SHOTGUN PERSON AND COULD NOT BELEIVE I WAS READING A BOOK WITH THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT ALL ASPECTS OF THE HUNTING, GUNS, AND SHELLS REQUIRED. MOST BOOKS SHOW THEIR IGNORANCE IN A FEW PAGES, THIS BOOK I COULD NOT PUT DOWN, IT'S THE TRUTH--READ THIS BOOK. PARTON IS MY HERO.
Fantastic Read! November 24, 1999

This book establishes Web as the authority on Arizona wingshooting. If you own a shotgun you need this book.
Exellent guide for Arizona bird hunting August 13, 1999

For anyone planning a trip for bird hunting in Arizona this book is the Bible. Up to date and precise on maps, roads, and habitat. I've hunted Arizona quail for 12 years and found his information to be right on the money. I've even picked up a few pointers from his book. Well worth having this book in your arsenal to hunt the very cagey desert quail.
