Part 2 of my notes from the 2009 – 2010 Hunting Season
1/8/2010 Aspermont, Texas
It’s 17 degrees. There is very little wind or I would be back at the hotel. I love to quail hunt but I’m just not that tough.

Midland 12/5/2009

We had a really slow first round. No points and we only saw one bird flush wild way out in the distance.
Em ran well. [...]
