I lost my hunting partner, Axl, of 10.5 years last August and didn't chase any birds in 2010. I got a new pup earlier this year and am trying to make up for last years missed time chasing birds. GuNR will be a year old in about a week and I am very happy how far he has come this first season. A little to young at this point for running down yotes, but made good bait. First dove. First sharpie. First duck...mallard drake. First ditch parrot.

He has had some big fun the last two weeks. First canvasback and Canada. First pheasant limit. Another good day with another bull can. Another handfull of birds. Another good one yesterday. Might have to hang up the decoys for a while as rifle opens soon. I am sure we will be able to find some late season birds when I am done with the scoped weapon. I am so happy how well GuNR has come along. I think he is a keeper.

You've got some great memories there MM. Appreciate you sharing that handsome boy with us.
Not looking forward to losing my English. She's thirteen this year and has given me some great memories as well.

Wonderful. I hope the years with GuNR are many, and each better than the previous.
