If I never hunted grouse, I'd would've never had the pleasure of crawling through alders with a 4.5 lb 28ga walking stick that costs $2,000 dollars !
This will be the last year I take my Ol' hunting buddy Yankee my Brittany out for a walk in the woods.
He's 14 and God blessed me to be able to have hunted with such a fine dog for so long.
Yankee learned a lot from my Pointing Lab ranger until he passed at 16.
I wish my Gordon setter shadow could've learned a few more tricks from Yankee, but Shadow told me he knows everything about bird hunting ! Typical Setter attitude I'm told.
Seeing all of the pics has brought up alot of memories of us chasing tail feathers all over the US.
This October we'll be hunting upstate NY, where it all began 14 years ago.
If asked I could do it all over again differently, I would say No. Typical Grouse Hunter attitude I'm told.
