Thought this pic was interesting.....
This was taken a number of years ago with "regular film" and is a digi pic of that pic.
This is "Bill", setter male, 1 1/2 years old, early season training run at my place. Bill was out of I'm Oscar and a female out of the Smith line also. He was a hell of a dog. Please look closely at the lower left hand corner of the pic. There is a brood of quail dusting. He had the wind at his butt and went about 6-8 yards past them and stuck this point. I really like this pic. I will never forget him.... https://i.imgur.com/nbiTbR5.jpg |
Cool picture.

Bruce, that's a wonderful picture of an extraordinary event. You are lucky to have it. Bird dogs rule!

Thanks guys. He was a hell of a dog. Could hunt him off horseback and then get down and hunt him on foot. He adapted his range to what you were doing. I wish I could have gotten him on grouse. He was a cautious dog around birds... this pic shows that I think.

what a picture, I think I would blow that one up and frame it.

Great picture! I once saw a covey bunched up back to back in a circle on the roost and when they flushed liked to have knocked the gun out of my hands and of course did not get any of them! Bobby

On a couple of occasions -- generally in cold snowy conditions -- I've walked in on a point and saw birds still on their roost, even into the morning and early afternoon. Almost always a bird or two was sitting on top of another covey mate. Like Bobby, I almost always muffed the shot...like spotting woodcock or grouse in front of a point...I almost always miss. :banghead:
Bruce, did you shoot well over that point pictured above? |
