Sitting at home nursing a new hip at 80 years old, I am missing the sharptail and Hun seasons so far. I enjoy all of your pictures and thoughts , especially the cockers on the heather, and after retrieves stretch at 14 years old. My Wirehair is 13, older than all of my other hunters ever made it. I’m hoping we can enjoy pheasants in Oct.

I hope you mend quickly enough to enjoy October, too, Daryl. Stories like yours give this annual thread added purpose.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Karl Thanks. Gus as never lacked for enthusiasm. Here he is, at 4 months old on his first bird hunt. You can see all the same behaviors. It's been a hell of a ride. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/NzuI4dd.jpg)

I got a bit of bad news today. I found a lump on my Lab nipple area checking her for ticks after hunting. Took her into the vets. It is most likely cancer I am afraid. Sx set and we will go from there. I had hoped to have one more liter of pups next year by her. Afraid that is not going to happen. Only four, so she is in prime health up to now, but cancer is never good in a loved one, be they on two legs or four. Very depressing news in my house but we will do what we can for her. Good dogs are a gift. Vet did say a small chance it is not cancer but it sounded like one in ten chance. Still I'll take it. Time will tell.

I don’t hate your gun. Whatever works. But, it appears in the photo you have red plastic snap caps installed in it.
Those, I would hate. No doubt, they would suit somebody.
Best,
Ted You, you went on a classic tirade about. It was hilarious. But you've forgotten. Those are not snap caps. Good grief you are thick. He’s thick? At least he doesn’t run a gps collar on a 14 year old dog that’s waterfowling. What a dolt. A 14-yr old dog with almost no directional hearing and questionable eye sight, who, in the dark can get confused and take off in the wrong direction. Not to mention it has tone and vibrate functions which allow me to communicate with him when he can't see me. You don't know much about training collars or old dogs. But you sure want to take me on. Good thing I didn't use my Merkel, eh?  Carry on.

Owen, how did the old Boss hammer do? What shells did you shoot thru it? Mike I shot RST 1oz 7.5 and had some success (2 birds). It looks great in a new case (Holt’s) refurbished by Kade Giles. I will try to post a picture later. RST has been doing mini drops of ammo over the past month and I have snapped up a few cases of 12ga.

Right you are. They make excellent black powder cases. Hammergun with snap caps? In the field? Someone wasn't thinking. Again.
