==Chapter 6==
==Chapter 6==
Graves sees the first deer of the trip then goes into detail about how most of the old game, esp. buffalo, has been hunted out of existence leaving only domesticated animals. He states "men increase; country suffers" (pg. 58) which sums up his general conservation attitude pretty well. Then he goes on and on about "Big Keechi" a super historic area of the Brazos. Charlie Goodnight a big cattle guy lived there. He stops at a picnic area littered with all kinds of trash and goes into the history and topography of the whole campground before pitching his tent and calling it a night.
==Chapter 7==
==Chapter 8==
The chapter starts with some trucks driving near pissing him off and forcing him to start out early. He regains his composure and meets back up with his friend Hale for some hetero shoot stuff and reminisce guy time. He paddle down river listening to nature and watching the clouds turn ominous. Graves goes hunting in a nearby forest and stumbles upon a kindly farmer, McKee, and uses their campground for the night. Graves lounges around the next morning just talking then eats lunch with McKee's family and leaves for the river.
