Quail Rigs By A. Lokey

Texas Quail Rigs is a celebration of a uniquely Texas tradition — one that’s been carried on for generations with pride, passion, and no shortage of personality. If you’ve ever spent a morning in quail country, you know the rigs themselves are part of the experience. These aren’t just trucks. They’re moving headquarters designed for long days in the brush and long nights around a fire. 

This book showcases over 120 custom quail rigs built with purpose and personality — high racks, dog boxes, gun storage, cooking setups, you name it. Some even come equipped with tamale cookers on the back so you can steam lunch between coveys. It’s Texas ingenuity at its finest. 

And then there are the dogs — champion quail dogs treated better than most house pets. These animals are athletes, partners, and family. They get the premium kennels, the best feed, and more affection than you’d believe until you see it. 

The photography is bold, honest, and full of character. Dust, sunlight, steel, mesquite brush — the book captures the energy, the pride, and the camaraderie that make quail hunting in Texas what it is. 

This isn’t nostalgia. This is a living tradition. And this book documents it in a way that does it justice.
