I never take them because I never have that many birds to show off! Nice work man.

December 2011 - dog on right is coming 13yo, his half-brother on left is 5. Wonderful day in mid-Atlantic area spent trekking open fields, breaking through brambles, crossing creeks, woods, heavy cover, etc. with dogs making difficult retrieves and never letting down!

I'm impressed :D . I would give up all of the big whitetails in IL to have have an abundance of just one game bird.

Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.
