Ted,

Yes, there was a female involved. My Shorthair, Jazz, and a couple other dogs. We got to the end of the hunt and a couple of us were waiting with dogs while trucks were retrieved and in the hurry-up of loading dogs and such it just got left. Certainly top 5 dumbest things I've done and "verify you have your gun" is now on my checklist before driving away.

I figured I'd better tell the story before one of the members here told it for me...
