Couldn't get out till late today, but that was 3 hours of walking for two flushes and one shot.... But Merlot worked those two hard...both runners that had been out for a week or two...Good day. Grouse....next year, Lord willing, I'm going to think hard on Maine or Wisconsin..I don't really care to kill more than a few...but I do care about getting into many..

However, it still carries quick.. Last edited by battue; 10/31/21. laissez les bons temps rouler

Yes, he is going....he is too small to put in a kennel, so he will have a lot of kennel time during the rides. Will let him out for short hikes while there, and let him play big dog...Hope he doesn't bump into a Rooster that scares the shiiit out of him.
