Angel to bad you couldn't make it this time but we have booked four days for the same time frame next year. That pup is a Cocker Spaniel and he is 12 weeks old. He was flushing birds and found a couple of cripples. Next year he will be awesome.

That's good Rich. That's something to plan for.

Way too tame for us - want some more of the wild, windswept plains of the NE Texas panhandle. Birds so wild one of their favorite flushing tactics is to fly directly at your face!

Well Kevin we too had some going right at the face ! That little Cocker spaniel was very close to being kidnaped to Michigan.. She was a sweetheart with a whole lot of drive.....If Jason (the guide) had turned his back on Sat as we were leaving that dog would have been gone........

Rich; that will give you some idea of how really strong the winds blew down there......the gun was originally a SxS11

Eric; hunting cockers are the best and the most fun of the flushing breeds IMHO. Both times in Scotland they were the preferred dog of the beaters driving through the dense woods. I've never hunted behind a Boykin Spaniel but would really like to; Jim Hall has one and she is a real sweetie.

One of the guides had a Boykin named Bogard and he was a truly gifted dog.

Rich, don't you have a shot of that Cocker retrieving a bird ? Post it or if not Mike post one of your shots, yes I know you are busy........ Still trying to figure out why that dog isn't here in Michigan.... (yes in my house)....

Default Beautiful Hunt Pictures and Classy Shotguns

This trip originated over dinner last year while shooting at Drakes Landing. I wanted to do a southern Quail hunt with PGCA members and both Mills and Julia recommended Morrison Pines.

Morrison Pines encompasses approximately 5000 acres of Long Leaf Pine and wiregrass as Mills photos show. This land has been in the same family for six generations. When I first drove up the road I thought to myself look at all this open space, this will be a piece of cake. I couldn't have been more wrong. The explosion of the covey will unnerve you as you go from bird to bird. No one shot a double on the rise all weekend.

To try to describe each hunt would be impossible but leave it to say that all were excellent. I would say that we saw 200 birds per day and I know I shot over two boxes of shells each day. The dog work was supreme with a mix of English Pointers, German Shorthairs, English Setters and the odd Boyken Spaniel (Bogard was a true bird finding dog) and a couple of Labs joined in the mix. We had four different guides and to a man they were capable and friendly. Their only goal was to put us on birds and boy did they ever accomplish that goal.

I took 5 guns for the three day hunt. They were made up of Gunner's Gun (naturally), VHE 28 skeet, AAHE upgrade 28, Holland & Holland 20 and a Fox FE .410.

The only thing I would do different would be to stay longer and we have fixed that situation for next year as we have made it a 4 day hunt.
It looks like it was a terrific hunt and the birds that were killed with some of the pictured guns are indeed blessed to have succumbed to such high grade and classy shotguns. Thanks for the pictures and info.
