This thread is awesome, and many congrats to the winner, what a setter!


I know the competition is over, but this afternoon I just noticed the only Parker engraving of a Setter retrieving on my guns! And a duck at that!! Very early $125 grade lifter short 10. The engraving is on the trigger bow. Awful photography I know, time and resources were limited today!

Did Chris mention Bog holes??? One minute I’m looking at the back of Chris’s bird vest the next minute at his boots.

Those are grown over cellar holes of the first settlers, but they are amazingly huge when you think you’re kicking through a blackberry patch and you disappear into one.
