George, I learned about hunting quail hunting when I moved to Snyder and then moving to Midland, where I started hunting with dogs. I learned how to train pointers and retrievers there. I loved that time in my life hunting Bobs and Blues over English Pointers. I was twice offered $3,500.00 for one of the dogs I trained. That was a lot of money back then. But I would not have taken $35,000.00 for her. It is said you will only have one good quail dog out of 50 trained. Ha, so true. I also trained a retriever that was half lab and half Golden, and she would get anything u would shoot. Squirrels to Pheasants to Quail. Oh , the hunting stories I could tell of bird hunting. Hunting all over Texas and Oklahoma for Quail. I have thought of training dogs again, but I would have trouble walking all those miles in the thorns and terrain, it kinda of sucks growing older and not being able to walk 6 + miles per day hunting behind good Quail Dogs. George, thanks for reminding me of the memories with the Blues and Bob's
