heres the old gal with some chukars and a phez I got yesterday. I was using 12gauge, 2and a half inch, 7/8 oz #8's in my first barrel and #6's in my second and really thumped the birds with it for a "light" load.

That picture is awesome. You should enter that in a photo of the month contest!

Stilly Bay, Great Photo and nice looking Uggie! 

Hunted upland on Saturday and harvested a couple quail and missed on two covey rises of Chukar.  Still challenged on the double trigger, but I am going to stay with it and hopefully do better next season.  My hunting partner opened up the chokes on his CZ-USA 20 GA Bobwhite and he started downing quite a few quail.  The other hot gun was a 12 GA Ruger O/U with English stock.

I could only manage to bring one down on Friday.
 We had a minor breakthrough in that he consistently obeyed my "whoa" command while on point. Steady-to-wing sure makes things easier. Now to work on steady-to-shot.

Great looking GSP and pictures!  Looks like you had a nice day to be out on the slopes!

Managed one last day today and was able to get off three good close shots with the smoke pole.  Only connected on one, but that's fine with me.  Lilly's going on 11, but still manages to keep me going all day!

Thanks.  The hardest part is getting the camera situated, Lilly to sit, and me to jump into postion before the self timer goes off.  This camera only has a 10 second setting!  One of these days I'll manage to hit one with the flintlock.  That's a picture I'm really waiting for!

Is Lily a field springer?  I used to have a liver and white brittany/springer mix!

Great pics, everybody! Well, I got my first chukar on the last day of the season! Yay!!! I was thrilled! The covey my brother's dog found was huge! We should've had a lot more birds. He had his eight-year old boy with him, but slow reflexes are my excuse!

Great way to end the season, and congrats on the phantom chukar!!  They don't usually come easy.

Hey PG

Nope, she's all Brittany.  I hadn't ever seen her variation.  She's not really liver, but more a brown rust color.  Since getting her, I've seen several more and realized it's not all that uncommon a color.
