Thanks Bobby and Lloyd for the very kind words, they are much appreciated! The FN does have some very nice engraving. The pic of me and birds was just one of those things you don't notice until someone else points it out.

Thanks again!

Greg

Greg sorry to hear about the loss of Duchess. Always tough. Love those pics. Following the pic trail of you and your boys each fall has become a bit of a tradition on my computer screen. Nice to see those sharptails.

Thanks CB for the very kind thoughts and words, they mean a lot. Duchess was quite a dog, found her abandoned on the highway, nursed back to health and she turned out to one heck of a bird dog. She passed here at home in my arms and thank God didn't suffer.

Thanks again so much!

Greg

Greg, glad you and your son got into some birds. How's Raina doing? We're heading out for SD next weekend, hope it keeps cooling down.

Hey Col. Well Raina's field work, quartering recall, retrieving and obeying are doing just great. She's bumping some birds and her pointing is not the best. She can find birds, just doesn't point them as she should. She has made a couple points, but a ways to go I'm afraid in the pointing department. I'll just hunt the crap out of her until the light bulb goes off.

Hope you have some good luck in SD, knock them dead!

Good Luck!

Greg

Greg, hope more bird exposure helps Raina work through the pointing issues. Sometimes that's all it takes. Might require working with launchers and tripping them when she first hits scent but does not lock up.

Hi Greg,

Sorry to hear that Duchess passed. Always liked seeing her in your pics. Raina has big boots to fill.

Greg,
Duchess was a fine gal and was fortunate to have you come along in her life. I have some pix I thought I'd post from 2012.

Hi Chuck, boy I can't thank you enough!!!! This sure is kind of you, that was a good day (except the birds that is!) Lynn does such a wonderful job of photo shooting hunts. Those pics almost want to make me cry.

Thanks again for the pics and your very kind thoughts!!!!

God Bless you and Lynn!

Greg

Hi all, went out today with my son Will around the home place here. We were both done in 45 min. Will got a nice double. Raina did better today, she found a couple birds that we wouldn't have.

Here's where we hunted (up in the hills):




Will and his birds, he was using his 20ga BSS?S:



Will, Raina and the days birds:



My birds and my 16ga Ugartechea 1030:



A good day with the dog and my boy!

Best,

Greg
