We had a good morning exposing my pup Willa to gunfire and birds. Her litter mate, Cash, is an old pro having been on birds for a month. Abby, my 4 year-old is on the left, followed by Cash, 6 months, Red, 6 years and Willa. Abby and Red are from the same sire and dam. All have the same sire. It was a good cool morning for dog work in Louisville, Ga. with my wife's cousins.
Folks, thanks. Stan, I hope the WC's come south again this year for us. It was amazing watching Cash find, point and hold at least a half-dozen birds and retrieve. He goes to the bank every day for a half day with Bill and sits in his office crated. Gil
Last Saturday I had an acquaintance out for a morning shoot.He is a U.S.Federal biologist from Alaska that was hosting an International Conference on Sea Ducks in our area and had not been on a Snow goose hunt before.The forecast was for clear and calm weather which is usually the kiss of death but overnight a nice layer of fog formed and the results are below. We got real lucky... I was using my Tolley 3" BLE "Altro" model BTW my 11 year old chocolate Tolley did the retrieving honors.

Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.
My first hunt with my latest hammergun, a 16 ga. Belgium "no-name". I missed the first 'cock with the right barrel, dropped the second bird with the left barrel, and then dropped the next two birds with the right barrel. I think she's going to work out just fine . Poor Emma tore an ear probably on a multiflora rose.Looks bad but a little Farnam's Wonder Dust and I had the bleeding stopped.
A little better look at "The Twigg". Named that because she's just shy of 6 lbs and carries like one.
