Chad, I can relate to hunting with an old friend. My oldest setter is 13 and he just runs out of gas this year. I fear this may be his last hunting season. This morning I planned to go for a long run and intended to leave him home figuring it would be too much for him. He raised such a fuss I just could not let him behind so off we went. He ran quite well considering his age and pointed 3 woodcock. Unfortunately no grouse. Normally I do not shoot woodcock but just had to today for fear his last bird is in the not to distant future. A wonderful morning with the old guy doing his stuff.
