"The Good Hunt"

[davidboyles]

Without question this is one of the best true to life stories I have read in the Parker Pages. Superbly written in wonderful meanful English and warming to the heart of any hunter, especially with dogs and a wife that hunts as a companion. Gary your thought process was so inspiring to my days in the field and is what pushes me at 79 to press on and carve memories in my forgetful brain about experiences in the Great Outdoors. How blessed I am to still have these opportunity’s and be able to share them with friends and family. As a side note, my hunting buddy of over 65 years fell ,cracked his ankle while fishing in Alaska last week and didn’t make the dove opener with me. Don’t think we both didn’t feel the loss of that hunt yesterday we had been planning all year. We will be back in the field together very soon sharing and making more memories! Thanks Gary job well done! David Boyles

Thank you gentlemen so much. It’s gratifying when your thoughts and experiences connect with someone. I’ve followed you both in this forum, and I know that you know what a good hunt means.

You’ve made my day. Thanks to all who responded to my article. You all know what special places, people, dogs, guns, and birds can mean in a hunter’s life.
