Default Feeling Lucky...

I have felt fortunate that many outdoor activities have remained available during COVID. Back in March, I brought my young Irish Setter/Golden Retrieve mix to a hunting preserve in Connecticut called Markover. I had hunted there several times, but never with my own dog, In fact, this is my first hunting dog. I posted some pictures after a first few hunts in March.

I went back this fall a few times and have been going every week since mid December. It is such a great place and I have received so much good advice and help with my dog. I have enjoyed watching the dog progress and continually improve. I have had my kids go with me, they are still too young to shoot, though they already have Parkers waiting for them We have been having so much fun and It has created a level of joy I would not have thought possible.

My son and I went yesterday and had a beautiful morning. I shot his Trojan first and then my GH. Looking forward to when we are shooting together, that will be fun for sure.

This was one of the few “positives” that came out of 2020 for me. Anyway, I thought I would share some pictures of my kids and “Violet” from the past few weeks...

Edit: I couldn't make that 5th picture vertical, but if you click on it is...

Jay, I live on Cape Cod and frequent Markover too, also with another PGCA member who lives in Plymouth. It's one of the better shooting preserves in New England. If you want to meet up there sometime send me a PM. The other guy and I both have setters.
