Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

Quail and bird dogs top the stories in the November issue 
of Texas Parks and Wildlife magazine. Associate 
Publisher Charles Lohrmann. 
 
"November is a time when people think about hunting upland 
birds like quail. And there's an article by Russell Graves called 
The Cult of the Quail. And quail hunting really does attract a 
very dedicated bunch of outdoors men and outdoors women. In 
fact, that moment when the covey first flushes, and the birds 
take flight, is described as the most intense two seconds in the 
Texas outdoors. 

"So, of course, once you talk about quail hunting, you have to 
talk about upland bird dogs. And we have this great story by Henry 
Chappell - it's a very personal narrative about his experiences 
with hunting dogs, and a few suggestions about how to work with 
dogs and hunting upland game birds. But he opens the story with 
a really engaging anecdote of one of his earliest memories of 
being two years old and having two lemon and white pointer 
puppies in a box; and he mentions the "sweet puppy scent" 
that is so vivid to him even today."

The November issue of Texas Parks and Wildlife 
magazine will be on newsstands later this month. Learn
