There are many things to enjoy in a hunt. My son and grandaughter , age 10, flew 48 hours from Kuwait to join us. Other friends came from New York, Indiana, and Idaho. One friend brought his 8 year old daughter, too. Neither of the girls shot, but that didn't keep them from finding special experiences.

My granddaughter is being given a knife for the hunt. She had never had one before. She jumped right in cleaning the birds, though, which surprised me a bit.

There are lots of things to discover on a hunt, even if you do not shoot.

Two friends had fine dogs. Shorthairs and English Setters. I don't want to leave them out. It was my first year in 40 years that I didn't have a dog along.

The shooters all used doubles. Baker, Parker, Hollis Bently and Playfair, a Westley Richards droplock, and a Hussey as I recall.

It feels good to enjoy the end of the hunt.
