Just read through this whole thread, loving the pics and the stories. Glad to see y'all are getting into birds!

My season hasn't started yet. Moved to south TX in September, which sucks for hunting this year... first, the move has seriously eaten up my free time for hunting, and second, there ain't a lot of upland birds here. But I've got a line on a guy up in the Panhandle who breeds and trains Brittany's, and I'm going up to see him some time here in late November. Might end up with a new bird dog if I like the way his dogs hunt.

Of course, that will mean I'll have to plan September trips to Montana and NoDak, October trips to SoDak, November and December to the Panhandle and Kansas. But a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!
