Nice topic/photos.

It is directly across the highway from the entrance to the memorial.

Hoof: Thank you. Weird question, I know, but whenever I'm near the site of a recent disaster I swear that I can almost feel the trauma of the event. I felt it at the Murrah Building site in Oklahoma City and again at the Flight 93 Memorial a few years ago. I would think that any historic battlefield would "feel" much the same way to me (I'm sure it's mostly me thinking about all of the lives lost and not anything else). Was hunting here any different for you?

Tom,
I had a feeling you might be moving. I''l be at the Denver show this weekend if you make it down.

Jim,
Annie looks like a real sweetheart.

Hoof, great pics of your dog and especially your boy.

KY John, you could not be more right about the dogs. Lucy is my first dogs grand daughter and I have another puppy on order, great grand daughter of course. I hope to pick up the new pup this summer.

Some more pics, scans this time.



My Pops with both dogs in MT about 2002



Southern KS around liberal, 2002 or so. Shooting a Lincoln Jefferies boxlock that I miss ....



Briar and I somewhere in KS on a cold January day. We both look pretty happy.

Shooting and watching the birds come down and hit felt wrong somehow. Almost like you shouldn't enjoy it.

Thank you for this thread Steve. What is the project you are working on for yourself ?

I went to the Flight 93 Memorial a few years ago. It brought back memories of the Twin Towers. I walked past them less than two weeks after the attack and still remember the sight and the smells. To me the President should have had 10,000 people from every state to walk by the site to be lifetime witnesses so they can tell others what terrorist can do to us when we are lax. We did not and now have almost forgotten a very important lesson. Never forget, never forget.

I love those pictures of your dogs. They become like family to us when we see them grow and learn like kids. I bird hunt to watch the dogs like many others here. Have dog will hunt.

Great pics, Steve. Thanks for a thread that gets back to our roots. I particularly like the backdrop in the above pic. It's off topic I know, but that old truck is the makings for a fine rat rod. I'm looking for something like that, for just that purpose, but high scrap iron prices a few years ago rid our countryside of junkers.

Keep the pics coming guys, maybe we can make it 'til next bird seasons.

Stan: I particularly liked that photograph as well. Of late I've been investigating a Model A pickup as a "new" hunting vehicle. Not sure exactly where or how I'd use it just yet.



Pretty much how I used the last one. That's a circa 1894 Thomas Bland 20 Damascus and a spruce grouse.

Gentlemen, I give you from an earlier age "Slut" the pointer pig, a somewhat grainy pic (!) from 1805. Not sure about the gun, but I bet that was a fun day out .....
