Hunting partner pics...
« on: November 13, 2022, 08:05:45 PM »
Kind of going off bones post of photo of the year, let's see those photos of the ones who really do all the work in the field.  Sitting in front of the fire place after an evening hunt last night letting "Bear" warm up, reminiscing of the hunts gone by.  Truly a man's best friend!  Hes 12/13 and probably wont have another full season in him.

Goose, God rest his soul was the best dog I ever had and probably ever will have. He was a lean mean 105lb swimming machine.

My two favorite buddies on our best hunt last season. Panz just turned 8 and has been busy and impressive this season.  My daughter is at college now. Maybe a holiday trip could happen.

Buck, he is a little more grey in the face these days, but is still hell on birds. Best dog a guy could ask for!

Chester.  Helluva duck dog and companion. Never quit. Never left my side. Lost him last summer to cancer.

The one and only Chloe dog. She's retired now, spends a lot of time in front of the fire place. She is 13.5, she's had a long life. I fear this may be her last winter.

Boone on his last hunt. He was a duck dog at heart but loved to chase quail too. Don’t have any good duck pics with him.

I don’t know why it made the picture upside down & I can’t figure out how to fix it.

This is a Pic of my old Man Chief. He got 12 seasons of hunting in. Thought I was gonna have to retire him at 9 from an injury. at 12.5 he got an unrecoverable injury but got to hunt opening weekend. That guy could withstand the cold and was one hell of a guard dog.  He greeted every crackhead with a growl and teeth. they all figured out to go some place else.  I would take him on the road with me and let him out of the truck. Id walk into the customers place for 30 min and he either sat by the door I walked in, or was under the driver side door of the truck. I'm gonna miss that old boy!
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.

First was Tess. My first bird dog I trained. She passed at 12.

Than came Pearl , a better dog than I deserve. Like to get after any bird. She is 9 now and likely my last bird dog. At 71 I don’t think I have another one in me.

She came from Ireland Farms.

Raised both from pups and trained myself.

This is one of my favorites from my last one! Her retrieving two ducks at once!
She was a great hunting partner. Unfortunately I lost her at at the young age of 7 from cancer. Having to put her down was one of the hardest experiences of my life.

Deep Waters is currently 3 years old. He has been a steadfast companion and is definitely an American lab if you know what I mean. We're talking high drive, unneutered, anticommunist with good family values.  :chuckle:
