That pup has the same effect on me :D I have had some real sheetheads but this little guy to date is a gem. If he matures into what I think he is going to he will surely be something. I hope we can drum up some interest in the advanced seminars maybe next September or so.

Re: Staying in shape for bird hunting

I ride a bicycle 70-100 miles a week. When the weather is not too hot I ride my mountain bike in the woods with a dog or two free running, otherwise I am riding my road bike beating up the pavement. Ive got legs and stamina to go walk all day with my mutts come hunting season.
