"'Hope' is the thing with feathers -

[MLBob Furia]

That perches in the soul -"

Do ya suppose Ol' Emily Dickenson had bird dogs?? ;-) ;-)

Still too temperate here to motivate me to get out for ducks, so Scooter and I went elsewhere for a taste of things with feathers.

A useful training session at Mulberry Pheasantry yesterday afternoon:

Nice, BTW that shell box looks kind of empty, hope you didn't start with it full. ;>)

It looks like you might have an upland Lab on your hands. Better find some of those rare Ohio Grouse and pheasants.

You're reading my mail Bob,Rufus and i just returned from a release pheasant hunt. We opted to hunt as opposed to planted birds. 3 points 4 shots 1 miss 2 bagged had a great time watching the young man work. He tracked a hard running cripple,i'm a proud poppa.

Looks like scooter has a good handle on chukars. Well done.

Nice Bob. I love seeing the black dogs get out after upland birds...

 

[Al Hansen]

Give Scooter a scratch behind the left ear, Bob. She is a dandy.
