Yesterday, about 3 in the afternoon, I took my 2 Brittany's, Flash and Elbee down the road for a short hunt. We went into a weedy wheat stubble and almost immediately Flash was on point, Elbee honoring. I was shooting a 10 Bore "E" Lefever. I started in and a Rooster flushed. Wind was blowing hard (It's Kansas,toto). First shot, lots of feathers, second shot dead in the air. He fell across the road into a green wheat field and both dogs went after him. I was watching the dogs, Flash got there first, Elbee took the Bird away from him and started back to me. His very FIRST retrieve. A second Rooster flushed behind me, I had the gun open and 2 shells in my hand. I dropped one and managed to get one in the left barrel, closed the gun and killed the 2nd Rooster which fell almost in the same spot the first one had. Flash picked it up...Imagine this: My two bird dogs, each with a rooster, coming to me at the same time! Side by side! Delivered to hand! We quit, came home and had cookies....One of those very special days, for an old guy....It's good to be me....Wish someone could have got a pic...
