Photo of the year
« on: October 29, 2022, 03:52:53 PM »
Photo credit to Bill Kercher  Photogrpahy
Photo contest winner from Sitka gear, a couple years ago I believe.   I’ve never seen it.

All I can say is WOW.  Way to capture emotion!

Photo of a lifetime, man I hope I can get one like that of my dog.
I think I’d cry every time I saw it.

Instant lump in my throat. Definitely brings back a lot of memories of past puppies.

Yup. Choked up.  What a shot.

It is a great photo.  The retriever still has the heart, but the body just can't.  Hardest part about having a great dog, it goes by quickly.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Poor old pup.  He is better suited for a bed by a fireplace.

Identical twin to my old girl, she still won't miss a day on the river chasing fish. I will carry her to the truck as long as she is happy

That's a great shot. Reminds me of packing my old dog back when he just had to go and didn't have it in him to make it back.  :'(

Last pup hunted through his 15th year. Pup now is hitting 8yo. Gets stoved up bit, but has the drive to hunt til his last day. I'm gonna make sure we pursue something when that day comes.
