The scope of a vanishing tradition and culture of quail hunting in Texas reaches far beyond the art of photography. Lokey traveled throughout Texas’s quail country to photograph and study the trucks represented in his book. Each one of the 120 plus rigs is different, and reflects the personality of its owner and builder. Lokey’s project was an opportunity to ensure a place in history for a tradition that has gone on for decades and is ever changing as the quail population and hunters grow less each year. The photographs are as much a tribute to the unique rigs and their owners as it is to an era of tradition. The photographs should be seen as a documentation of history as much as art.

Note: Texas Quail Rigs sold out of its first printing in 90 days and then did a second printing which has also out, however, we are sad to announce we will not be doing a third printing.
