Really enjoyed the photos...especially the "dog tired" one!
Sometimes I cannot believe the bond between hunter and dog. It's an incredible thing to behold (even from your lap). You are a lucky man.

I have never skinned a bird in my life since I started hunting at 13 years old. Good old gramps told me a person who skins a bird doesn't deserve to eat it. But just for you Dean, I am going to pop the breasts from some woodcock and do it your way. I wouldn't do it for anyone else Dean. Gramps will be rolling in his grave and I'll probably be shaking too hard to pop the breasts, but I'll do it.

And just for you Tom, I’ll pluck one of mine and roast it your way. Please give me your cooking instructions so I can enjoy it the same way you do.

Garry - we really do have a special bond. She is devoted to me... and I to her. She’s a PITA sometimes but we overlook her transgressions.

Eric - we have a Vermont Castings "Resolute" wood stove, an outhouse just off the picture to the left, and the running water is disconnected the first time Tom sees frost on the field in the morning. It doesn't have many creature comforts but it's very comfortable when we come in from beating ourselves up chasing birds. Oh, and we do have electricity in the new camp.
Remembering the old camp that we hunted from for forty-some years, the new camp is like the Taj Mahal... and it does look a lot nicer too. .
