Last day of upland game was Sunday. Pic shows my viszla Ben who still has a paw up while posing. He saw a wing-tipped rooster go down into dense cattails 200 yards away across a frozen lake and came back with it! Gun is a Sauer Model 8 16 ga built in 1911. Birds were flushing so close in the deep snow that an ounce of 8's was all I needed. Super waterfowl retriever also, but I won't take him in a boat in really cold weather. But with a shore hunt he dries himself off quickly by squirming in the dead grass.
