Thanks Stan. I am a lucky rascal.

Went by myself today. Had a great day. In the thirties most of the day with a 30mph wind out of the North. Scenting condtions, amazing to me, were excellent starting about 1:30. The puppy ground tracked a single two hundred yards before the bird stuck and she pointed it, at 25 yards. Some very good dog work today. Ran five year old Ginger and fourteen month old Jazzy. My puppy Jazzy made a bird dog in the last couple of weeks. But she won't pose for pictures so Ginger is the only one in the shot.

The gun is a Fox XE 20 gauge, about 5-1/2 pounds with 26" barrels, factory Kautsky single trigger, choked 5/1000th and 5/1000ths, 14-1/2 x 3 x 1-3/4, POW grip, leather covered pad. The single trigger has operated without a hiccup for several hundred rounds.



I am glad to be here.
