Some old pictures of my first Chessie
« on: July 19, 2011, 05:14:37 PM »
Found some old pictures and since I just got a new scanner/copier thought I'd post a few. This was my first Chessie. She was about 7 months old in the picture. The puppy is my current females' mother. It was a slow day but, we shot a few ducks and a goose. Bridgeport, WA on the Columbia.

I haven't read through the manual yet....if you know how to clean them up and zoom in some help would be great. I got a HP Officepro 8500A yesterday. I've never used photoshop or any programs to zoom and crop but, I'm guessing that is the route I need to follow to clean it up?

Barely see my females dam in the last picture. She was just a little bitty thing at that time. She too is gone now.

Fast forward about 10 years and here is my current female after picking up a couple geese just last season...

Hey, can you come down to Mitzels in Kent tomorrow around 6pm? Having our meeting. I'd like to have you there so we can outline final plans for the piggy roast! Our meeting is sort of last minute and i just thought it might be a good idea for you to show. I'll buy you dinner and beers!

Going to get you a check so nothing comes out of pocket!

Good looking Chessie.


Here's some pics of mine.  She's from somewhere in N. Central Washington, I just can't remember the name right now.  She brought back her first greenhead at 5 months and has loved hunting since.
