Jan 4th and T-shirt weather in Nebraska. This is my older Springer Lucy and I with her first pointed rooster. She is a great flushing dog but four years ago she started occasionally pointing tight holding birds, usually hens. This was the first rooster that held for a point and we put it in the bag.

LEFEVER I-Grade Pheasant Hunt Illinois requires non-toxic shot for some of their "public" pheasant hunts. Photo below is from a recent Carlyle Lake pheasant hunt. I handload 1 ounce of #5 NICE shot with a spreader wad, since the Lefever's 30" steel barrels are still original full choke; and most of the shots are over points within 30 yards. This Lefever went through a full restoration by Buck Hamlin a few years ago. With semi-fancy new wood it is probably nicer that when it originally left the factory. Works fine. https://imgur.com/a/44OufjA JERRY GOLDSTEIN

I had one of the strangest experiences yesterday in the woodcock woods. I got an alert from Abby's gps collar that she was on point 125 yards out. As I started hightailing it towards her location, I heard Willa's bell to my left running with another dog, whose or where it came from I didn't know. I closed in on Abby on point and should have seen her standing there. All I saw at 25 feet was her blue collar, the gps unit and her bell on the ground. I thought that dog running with Willa looked familiar. Sometimes you just get lucky. Today I went with Jeff, Floyd, Pop and Sadie. We downed 6 but only recovered 5. Floyd's gun was AWOL from photo but not from the action. It was a beautiful day in the woods. Gil

Gil, That thick cover sure looks familiar, like we have up here. Glad you had a good day, and that your dog is safe. Karl

Thanks, Karl. Lowpoint of today was Pop rolling in a greasy, decomposing wild hog carcass. We tried washing her down with muddy, water, but he still stunk to high heavens. Gil

Gil, Bad yes, but I'll bet it beats a dog getting into a skunk! Karl

Just think, Gil. If it had been Abby or Willa you woulda had to smell her all the way home! At least Pop rides in the back of the pickup.

I have literally tied a dog crate to the roof rack to get a skunked dog home. The stench, the horror.
