We got an early start on a beautiful Christmas morning for a few hours before family time at mom's. Floyd brought his sister who has two Brittanys which are littermates of Pop and Sadie, Floyd's dogs. She had never seen a hunt before. She baked a batch of Brittany cookies for the trip and we had a great time. We couldn't start where we planned on starting because we saw at least 20 jet black mature feral hogs cross the woods road where we planned to stop and begin our Christmas Day Brittany Blitz with Sadie, Pop, Willa and Abby. We got a good half mile up the road and began our hunt. However, excess water in the woods created small islands of land surrounded by water which adversely affected the dogs because the water defeated scent trails and we initially had lots of wild flushed birds. We found a more suitable area and found birds. Tough shooting but we got a few. Yeh, I screwed up the photo. Again...Merry Christmas to all. Gil.
