Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

I still enjoy shooting a few birds but no, not at all. I do it to get out and let the dogs run and have a good time with my friends and family.

I'll give y'all a mental image. It's therapeutic. It makes the world go away for a while. Watching a dog do what it was bred to do is a sight to behold. It does the same for me now as it did 40 years ago. I can think of only one other thing that does that.

Puts a smile on my face every time I look at it. it was taken with a phone and I have yet to try and burn it to a disk and get a print. Back story is the dog pointing the covey is a 1 year old female that belongs to coonie on the board. She turned out to be a real natural bird dog. Has a bunch of desire and at one point I was told they stopped hunting one afternoon early to go shoot some dove. They tied her to the trailer and went a ways to the spot they were going to hunt. She chewed her way through the rope and joined them and retrieved dove for them for an hour or so. She's truly one of the things that keeps us doing it.

I moved to Justin. Work in Irving but never have been able to handle living in the big city so I get the long commute! Well worth it though.

Don't have very many pics or as cool as the ones I've seen on here but this is the first point my GSP hit after I aquired him.
