Was hunting quail on Cascade Ranch (central California San Mateo County) and my German shorthair Dotti went on point. Walked up and on the flush got three for three with a 20 gauge Browning Auto 5. Guy was clean across the meadow from me but walked all the way over to congradulate me on what a fine dog I had and how well I shot. He had a lab that was being trained at the Crooks kennels on the ranch and had his son with him. It was Bing Crosby and he asked if I might hunt with him for a bit as he wasn't hitting very well and wanted his lab to get to retrieve a couple of quail. He offered to let me use his shotgun if I wanted to. I told him no way, and he chuckled and asked me why not> It was a Browning Midas grade 28 gauge over and under and I told him I wouldn't be able to give it back to him. Anyway, we hunted a bit but hunting a fine German shorthair pointer with a Hard charging Lab just didn't work out well. He was a real gentlemen though.
A hunt ro remember.
