Drew, I had those same thoughts today, about dogs of my past that have left me far to soon,while dove hunting for the first time this year.

First time I have been without a dog on a dove field in a long time.

My wife did have her Golden today and she shot better than ever. Mosby got to retrieve many birds and it reminded me to be thankful for a wife that enjoys dogs and hunting as much as I do.

Smoking two turkeys in the morning. One for a family gathering at my sisters and another for a less fortunate family just up the road.

Hope everyone has a blessed thanksgiving.
