Longtail

[David Penland]

First setter pup. Named him after my friend Ron Hauser who recently passed away. Ron refused to hunt planted birds and was compelled to modify almost every double he acquired. He purchased a very nice 7 pin sidekick Midland that previously belonged to a Takahara fellow as the name was engraved in the rib and inlaid with gold. Ron could not rest until he had the name removed however much to his dismay the gunsmith explained to him that would be a mistake and would not do it. Hence Ron Takahara. Hopefully we will make it to Ames Plantation in about 3 years.
