If he could type, I'm thinking he would have some good advice for all of us. Last edited by battue; 05/14/11. laissez les bons temps rouler

But She's a good one too...sprang to the fore while fishing last year to run interference between me and a moose! Another IngwedogII pic... BTW she weighs in at #62..so dat's a pretty nice trout!

Works well on the Quail and Grouse and I shoot Sporting Clays with it too. I have owned many great upland bird guns but this is the one I won't part with. Just something great about the 28!

Ingwe, I always love your fishing/Ingwedog/IngweWife pictures. Montana is just a dream for most of us. At least we can live it vicariously through you!

Hard times, however she still comes back to visit. I'm a Spring Dog man too. I love the animated little characters and I've shot a bunch of birds over mine over the years. My first lasted til she was 11 and I cried like a baby the day she left.

Screw those buzzards. May we all have and be worthy of an Ingwedog sometime in our life. laissez les bons temps rouler

Was hunting in Michigan in those days, area had an abundance of grouse that were darn near tame. Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years. It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone..... Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.
