AMEN 2
Thank-you RevDoc Drew for that perfect sentiment.
Especially like your vehicle license plate - calling it like it is.
And for our non-English speaking friends on this BBS, especially mon ami/mi amigo JCJ in the southern cone:
Vehicle license plate 4RBRDOG in plain English translates to and implies: For our bird dog(s).

Thanks, Drew. Last evening I ran across a picture of the last limit of doves my faithful Lab, Fowler, retrieved for me. It was bittersweet, because Fowler was killed by a truck only a few months later. The look of the doves, mouthed gently as he carried them, was what caused me to remember that it was he that had retrieved them, and not birds I had picked up myself.
Soon I hope to be following pointers for quail, and spaniels for woodcock, watching Labs bring in ducks, and enjoying the time and training put into them by my friends. 'Bout time for me to stop grieving Fowler, and get on with finding another puppy, I'm thinking.
SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I'm thankful that for the last four years, we finally had a President named Donald Trump who really cared about the good and welfare of this Nation.
We have been blessed to have a man in the White House who defended the principles upon which this Nation was founded. And best of all for those of us who understand the meaning of the 2nd Amendment, we have been blessed to have a strong defender of the Rights of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. Thanks to Donald Trump, we are blessed to have three new Supreme Court Justices who will defend the Constitution instead of attempt to rewrite it. Without men like Donald Trump, it wouldn't be very long before we fell under the same onerous restrictions, bans, and eventual loss of freedoms that has cursed gun owners and shooters in many other oppressive Socialist rat-holes.
Let us pray that corruption and fraud does not bring an end to these blessings. Let us pray that good triumphs over evil, and we are not cast into the darkness of Socialism and repression.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

I'm thankful that the true Americans came out in force by 6 million plus and 4% points to put an end to your hopes. Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful that I am still as enthusiastic about going hunting and fishing as I was as a teenager and that there are still so many with the same enthusiasm who are keen to share their experience with others. I am also thankful that there are still so many people of principle to offset those that threaten a fair ,civilised society.

Near the same area a year later. The ol' T-Bone backing technique, rarely seen. Also called the cross point.
