Chuck: that pic was Nov. 11. I spent two days in Presho hunting a full section of CRP with milo strips-tough hunting for one guy and a scent crazed 2 yo setter dog. About the 3rd trip back to the truck he caught on that 'you ain't hunting with me, then you ain't hunting'
Then on to Mitchell for 2 days. All the rain you got still had the ground moist and it got up to 60 with bright sunshine.
The little lab is not yet 2 and already an incredible dog with a wonderful personality. We hunted with her momma 2 yrs ago, and when the litter were ready, two of those guys drove back up for pups. Here's a pic of the lab power from last year
And back to the topic, I'm incapable of shooting a 12g SxS S. Dakota/KS pheasant gun with 1 1/8 oz 5s at 1300 fps with anything lighter than a 7 1/2# gun. And can't tolerate the Fiocchi GP boomers even in a Benelli SBE.
