What a treasure!

This is my setter Ace. He is about a year and half now. He's from Hemlock and Ryman lines.

Setters
 

I have always been a Labrador man and hunted ducks primarily..... But setters wow....fifteen years ago I was exposed and how great it was....This gal is a hunting fool and so biddable .......Classic point...... what a pleasure to hunt with her and her owner.....Special days for sure......they do it the right way......Gonna be with them again this October......

P.S.. The Parker Pages just gets better and better....1st class job Dean!

Thanks Marty!

Wow!... It's hard to pick out that woodcock but I found it. ;)

good eye Dean, I hadnt noticed it. F or those of you who are visually challenged, click on the picture to enlarge it, and then look left of the setters ear, you will see the cryptic clored little bugger. I generally miss those that I spot on the ground in front of a point, but it is always cool.

I never seem to find woodcock in the open like that. For me, they are always in the most miserable crap you can find. Nice picture!

That bird held tight. I'm guessing he/she was only about 4 feet away from the setter.

I love a good looking, athletic Setter, Gods perfection!

One pic I took on Saturday. Was trying an Astro Collar. Forgive the stacked up look. I normally take her regular collar and the bell off when I run the Astro, but I just threw them on because she was in squirming mode. 8 month old pups are a tad crazy when there are birds to be found. PS. Sophie is 36 lbs.

This is Lucy, my 4 year old Midwestern bred grouse dog working out the kinks on prairie birds out west for the month of September. She takes better vacations than I do! This point resulted in a covey of very young Huns that were unable to fly. It helps to have a steady dog at times like this.
