A seven month old lab full of enthusiasm, drive and desire makes a day on the Dakota prairie so worthwhile.

Greg - thanks! Given that people travel thousands of miles to hunt where you are, sticking at home seems like a good plan!
Adam - we were at RPP. Some of our group did hunt with Randy though he is not in the pictures. He has top-notch dogs.
GLS - there were times I felt like I was in that Cowan painting. That would be lovely thing to have on your wall!
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

I appreciate those shots. A young Lab reminds me of my 10-year-old Jake who will be my last dog because of my age. Key to keeping these fellas around to old age is lots of exercise and proper diet and, perhaps most important, continual brush-up training that makes a happy dog always willing to please.

And the tractor appears to be a Minneapolis Moline Model Z.

Hi all, a bit OT, but here's my buck from this year, took him on Sat morning, in full rut running with a doe, got up out of a tree line and I got him running across a stubble bean field, I was happy with the shot. I was using my Ruger M77 (Old Style) RSI in 7mm-08 with a Leupold VR-III (1.5 x 6) Best! Greg

Good job Greg. I assume you made it home alright in this weather?

Hi Joel and thanks!! We were up by Pettibone, got a lot of freezing rain, then about 3" of snow last night, roads were plenty icy. The Interstate was fine until 10 miles out of Bismarck, then it turned to crap!! Down home here, we got about 10" of snow if not more.
Oh well!
Thanks again for the kind thoughts!
Greg
