I was always a Lab guy, still am, but the springers are insane on pheasant.  They retrieve ducks and doves and handle themselves nicely on quail and huns also.  My black and white female has even retreived a couple lessers.  Fun dogs to watch in the feild.

my first hunting dog was a springer and she set the bar pretty high for the dogs that followed.

My little girl Hazel, German Wirehaired Pointer. Very sweet girl and a hard hunter. Looking forward to the upcoming season.

I probably shouldn't take it out, but just can't stop myself.  I even bought a discount Elsie just to give me a fix, but I still go thrashing around the hills with the good one.  The funny thing is that the plain Jane one in those pics is the oldest graded 20 gauge known to exist and I still take it out like a complete bozo. 

Here are a few more to whet your whistle.







Here are the 12 gauges, a 1948 and a 1910:

Understandable, I still hunt with a SxS that was my great grandfathers, hard to leave it home.

Guns, especially double shotguns, were made to be carried, shot, & most of all, hunted with.  Unless you're planning on selling, I say take those babies out with the pooches and enjoy your day in the field.

take them out and use them... that being said don't bring them to the Western Wa, one day in the salty air and they will start to melt like a slug.
