I also enjoyed that. I often times wonder what things will be like when my son is old enough to hunt. He is three. I grew up in Pennsylvania and heard stories of frequent limits despite the lack of dogs, knowledge, or abundant shooting skill. When I started hunting there were a lot more birds around than today. I moved to Minnesota in 2007 and have seen the decline firsthand. I just hope there is enough around when he is old enough to share my passion.

Enjoyed the read. As Ned said, I admit wondering how many seasons I have left in me. I know Charlie has seen her last full on pheasant hunting days. She is healthy but for being wracked with arthritis. Best bird dog I’ve had the pleasure to hunt with. Top pic is Charlie at 7 weeks. Middle pic about 3 years old and bottom at a tender 12 years.
The ball of snow and ice is a rooster that dropped into some open flowing water on a very cold day
