Couple pheasant today, hard points and held well, one by the setter and one by the young pointer. Walked 8 miles yesterday, 8 1/2 today.
I see those pictures in Shooting Sportsman, Sporting Classics and those other high end magazines, and I know if I only bought those fancy English clothes and special hunting boots, I would be more successful. I want one of those mule pulled wagons to take me around the field instead of having to walk. But here I am in my Pointer brand jeans and my special hunting hat from the Miner's Club in Zortman, Montana. Some years ago, we posted a picture of several of us around the back table at an old store in rural South Dakota. One of our blue blood Eastern society members here said that we were " crimson clad rustics cavorting on linoleum." Well, we ate lunch at the farmer's cafe today. There was no linoleum. It was tile. And the sun sets on another good bird season out in fly over country. |

Pre-1900 shooting in "fly-over country."

Bert finds proof of a parallel universe. It's right there through the portal.

Looking for the Ghost of Tom Joad
Still quail season where the Dust Bowl began. Driving and looking around and resting the dogs for tomorrow.
We'll go up a red dirt road and turn left and we have hundreds of thousands of acres to hunt. |

Can you get Bert to quit admiring his appearance in the glass or water long enough to find birds?

Well darn I was hoping to see some 67-69 Camaro's !
But that Jag convertible with I assume a V-12 under the bonnet doesn't look to bad ! |

This has every option but the cement blocks. It may be available. I'll ax him.
