Although late to the party this is a timeless conversation. Pics from this fall's hunting with my son in Alaska, central Washington and Nebraska.

Dogs:French Brittanies-they're compact, peerless houseguests, tireless and driven. PePe is 10 and hunted 9 days of the 11 day trip in Oct and Nov and it was hard hunting.

Guns:prewar Continental doubles, particularly Merkels, and Winchester Model 12's-good Continental guns are simply as good as they get with superior design and workmanship (and you can put a sling on them). Model 12's simply work and work well. They are timeless.





Birds: Anything that flies well and tastes good. I'm agnostic about an all around favorite but pheasants are my favorite to hunt and the spruce grouse and sharptails are my favorite to eat. The chukar and California quail were new to us this year and were great simmered in a pot over the fire in camp.
