This is one mornings hunt. They are all legal...these were flushed and called back for the kill before 10:30 AM.

Chuck, Here is another in the snow from earlier the same day. That whole trip was the reason was the essence of hunting.

Me and Zach and a Lefever EE Damascus, Before the snow.

Me and Maggie with the Lefever. She was 12 in this picture. She is 14 now and retired from hunting but only because the body can't do what the heart still wants to. The best springer I've ever hunted over. She could track a bird from here to hell, flush it and stay steady. And if you did your job she never missed a retrieve. The Very Best!

Here's the old man in Canada, at eight years old and in his prime. . .


The young one is 18 months, full of himself and coming up nicely. . .

Here are a few of mine Chuck, here is a BW version of my fav. For me Hunting is all about the Comraderie, the bond of man dog friends and the call of times gone by but still stiring within, the fine guns are an extra

Guys thanks for the photos some really beautiful dog, gun and game pics
Jeff G.

Great stuff Jeff and cuzz G. You guys look like you have a great time back there.

Your pics bring back so many memories.
Thanks for posting.
I am not unhappy that this is not possible for me any more.
I have had my time and can be well content that stories can be shared if the pics were never taken.
Many years have passed and many hunts have become memories that are too dim to focus on. But, I can still taste the very first quail that I killed. It was with the Fox that I inherited from my great uncle. My mother fried it for me and the taste will never leave my mind.
A picture is in my mind and if you sit back and imagine a kid, skinny and wearing wire rimmed glasses,with a lovely, graceful 16 gauge A H Fox in hand, you can see me in dungarees walking in Green's field. The birds flushed and I mounted, chose my shot and fired.
One bird that day, as it was late, and a butt cutting was in order if I was not home soon. Supper was at six sharp.
It is my sincere hope that one more kid has that wonderful experience.
One more kid's being able to tell such a story will make so much difference.
Take one hunting. Work hard to insure that he will be able to. Be able to have such a memory when the times afield are past.
Best,
John

Love guys, keep them coming.

Particularly like the snipe pictures, and of course the young folks with their game.
