Bane update. I saw SPJ's comment above and it was ironic that Bane met his first porcupine not long after that. We drove 8 hours to OK to hunt quail, spent a bunch on out of state tags and motel room, only to have him jump a porky 2 hours into the hunt. That was rough and he took a week or more to heal up. But now he is hitting on all cylinders at 12 months of age. His biggest problem is my shooting really. Missed a ton of quail in Nebraska and my share of pheasants in CO. The drahthaars are hunting machines and I am very happy to have this guy to hunt behind.
