I figured I might not be the only one bored to tears with current topics so I thought I would post a few pictures of what drives me.

Maggie with a mornings limit and some early snow in Montana. Picture taken a fifteen years ago or so. She was my first bird dog and as my hunting buddy said about her "a bird finding machine". I sure do miss her.

former employee, myself, Maggie and Briar with a limit of SD roosters and a couple of sharpies. Briar was Maggies son. This was about 7 years ago.

The old crew winding down and the new generation coming on. Lucy was about 6 months old and on her first wild birds, Blue or Dusky grouse.

Lucy and I last year with a couple of Sharpies and a rooster in SD. I'm really looking forward to this fall. I'm working on a new shotgun for myself as well but it will not be ready by this fall unfortunately.
