Gee Fox, Pamela Anderson (Baywatch!) was your pheasant guide! You get around better than I'd have expected...Geo

But I want a picture for proof; Pammy, not the dog!

This is the picture sent to me from Run With The Fox.

Some years it can be fairly decent. This year there is too much water in this part of the state. Historically Florida finishes in the top three states for number of snipe shot along with Louisiana and Texas.

That forwarded pic of RWTF and his dog reminds me of classic cover illustrations of old hunting mags and catalogs. Neat job, all!

Well it ain't Pammy but it is a 1st class Game/Gun picture. Way to go Fox!...Geo

Francis: That's a really neat photo. Both you and the bird dog look rather intense, all business.

Thanks to all who helped get this posted here. I wish I were more of a "techie" I guess, but at 73, well- as they say about old dogs learning new tricks-- You are right about older pictures and magazines- my "keeper" is the Fall 1977 GSJ- had the two best stories about pheasant hunting I have ever read- Jack Curtis "The Prairie Queen" and a USMC 1st Lt. from the 'Nam era- John Hewitt- "There's Always Tomorrow"-- MI stopped the required back tag reg many years ago- but that one is from my late father's hunting coat, from the last year we hunted pheasant together- who says older bird hunters ain't sentimental? Merry Christmas to all--RWTF

Fox, never heard from Pamela. Good to see it posted. Great looking photo. You look much younger than 70. Gil

Actually, I became 73 on Nov. 6th this year. Thanks for the kind words, my friend and your help. Real observant brother bird hunters may also note the bulge of a deceased pheasant (hen) in the back game pocket- on my left or "off-gun" side- same reason I keep fewer shells in the right hand (gun side) of my SC vest than on the left- and never more than 15 total in both pockets combined- to prevent drag on the coat-vest on my gun mounting side-

I can also shoot either the M12's or the LC Smiths that fit me best without any concerns about"cross-over" due to a dominant off side eye, which is critical to an avid shotgunner like me--

I just had an eye exam on Mon 15th-- distance vision is 20/15 right eye, 20/20 left with no glaucoma, pre-diabetic concerns, problems with peripheral vision or signs of color blindness- blessings indeed also that are, at least to me, priceless. At 73, I no longer stomp the grouse and woodcock coverts as I did at 37, preserve hunts and the Tower shoots are my "cup of tea" nowadays, plus both pass and decoy shooting on ducks and geese hereabouts.

My gunning heroes were/are the lates: Ray P. Holland, Burton L. Spiller, and of course, "De Shootin'ist Gent'man hisself, T.N. Buckingham. I can only guess at the devastation Nash must have felt when some of his keen eyesight fell to cataracts and the surgery required back in the 1960-1970 era required to remove that sight-robbing condition. So-- No Publisher's Clearing House prize patrols in the driveway yet, nor any Powerball winnings, but I cannot complain. I have enjoyed good health for all my adult life, and live for those "Grey November Days" as the late Gene Hill wrote it so eloquently- Merry Xmas to you and yours, Sir!!!

Francis, I seem to recall a pic of you on a snow covered front porch, with long hair. Am I remembering wrong?
