AmarilloMike sent me this photo a couple days ago. He is still in central Montana and here he poses with his two veterans, Buddy and Red, along with a bunch of Sharptails. He took five of his turdhounds with him and they're all getting workouts. His newest, Jazzy, is only about nine months old and has already pointed and retrieved birds! Good thing they are born with the hunting instinct.....

Looks like they'll get four solid months hunting here in Texas--quail numbers look to be incredible! Whew! Mike walks with his dogs and I often just drive along nearby. When they locate a covey I just amble over and shoot them for him. Works well and I don't have to buy dog food or pay vet bills. Ah, life is good!
