I can't bring myself to get another lab right now or any time soon.
Life is changing, retirement and old age looming ....
I have 2 years, and 10 months til my working is over, and my wife and I start traveling before we can't for any unforseen reasons.
Will I hunt waterfowl like I have ??
Doubtful.. .
Since Traps passing i have no desire to go...
Mark, I know what you mean...when my one and only bird dog died...I sold off my shotguns and havent returned to bird hunting since.
I hunted big game for years with Ingwedog at my side, and since she's gone...its lost a lot of its charm as well...I still do it but...
And stream fishing will never be close to the same without her....
Although I tell everyone in your situation " go get a puppy!" I havent been able to do it myself since putting my last dog down....
I still have my boy Rommel..but he's just an at-home companion...
