On Thursday I am heading down to my friend's spread in southern Virginia for some quail hunting er excuse me, "bird huntin". What makes this trip special is it will be the debut of my new English Setter, "Brooklyn Handicap" aka Brookie. He spent the spring with the trainer and came home with high marks but this will be his first real hunt. I am taking my beloved family 16g DHE 26" T3 O frame and it will also be the debut of my 20g DH 28" D3 O frame as well. RST #8s will feed them... Parkers and setters and rumors of quite a few wild coveys on the farm. I hope the little guy performs half as well as his late relative, Old Wilkes who is buried on the farm with other great bird dogs. Half as well will be just fine...there is also a side trip scheduled to take possession of another Parker gun...I have high hopes for a good week...
