Gil,
She is not as white as she appears in the photo. There is some ticking on her back, and scattered here and there.

There is still a lot of white dog there, however, and it will raise hell with me being able to see her once there is a foot or so of snow on the ground, any day now, in this part of the world, usually. The Gordon was much easier to see in the snow.

Stan, I ran into a really old local in the woods today, hunting with an Iver Johnson 16 gauge single shot. Said it was the only gun he had ever owned, and he had killed lots of game and deer with it. He had it loaded with steel shot, he didn't know how it was choked (ignorance truly can be bliss) and it was a classic "zero %" finish gun.

I actually had, in the Nitro Special, the nicest gun in the woods today. That I saw, anyway.

More ignorance. And, bliss.

Best,
Ted
