Journal Boell 1964 Ojo Saguna Chihuahua Mexica Nov. 13 Got final approval on our guns from the military and left with our trailer at 10:30 a.m. It is a beautiful day. Reached Ojo Saguna at 4:30 p.m. Parked our trailer under the cottonwoods near the house of Senor Cresencio Gutierrez where we worked during the spring of 1963 (march-april) and again in april and may of 1964. As we drove into the Gutierrez yard we saw three Gambel quail about 50 yards from the house. There are the first Gambel quail that we have seen anywhere in Chihuahua. The birds were feeding under heavy mesquite growth near the road. Didn't want to shoot so close to the Gutierrez house - at least not before we checked in with the family.
