Bird Hunters Report Game Scarce In Area
A survey of Lubbock area bird hunters finds game scarce this season. Rain and a depleted food supply thin quail across the cap rock and short grass, with Matador area reported as most plentiful by J H Beasley and several hunters. Some hunters near Post saw birds east of town but not as dense as Matador, while north of Post pockets of scarcity persist. Licensing delays cause many to hunt with receipts from County Clerk Ed D. Allen as temporary proof until standard forms arrive.
