Title: Photo of the year
Post by: boneaddict 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!

I think I’d cry every time I saw it.

Post by: Skyvalhunter on October 31, 2022, 07:04:17 AM: 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. :'(

I used this stuff for my old Chesapeake. This stuff is much better than such of the arthritis medicine. I would give him one drop in the morning and the evening. Old Chief got to hunt till he was 12.5 years old and I hunted him hard in the cold for the ist 8 years of his life. It helped him overcome an injury at 9. You can only find this at the Weed shop, and I tried. 4 different brands and this stuff worked. I have shared this with all my hunting buddies with older dogs. It's pretty reasonable and only cost $40 for a dropper that lasted about a month.

Do your hunting buddy a favor and give this stuff a try.

I had to pack my old hound out from a tree this summer and go straight to the vet. It was heart rending to watch a dog that had treed >500 lions in her life lose interest in the tree and hand over the reins to the younger dogs. She knew she was dying before we did.
