At the annual fundraiser, PCQ recognized legendary Texas oil and gas entrepreneur and conservationist A.V. Jones Jr. with the T. Boone Pickens Lifetime Sportsman Award and tickets, raffle, silent and live auction sales resulted in a record $770,000 that will go directly to research and education to help restore the wild quail population in Texas.
