NEWEST MEMBER OF THE HODGES HOUSE
 

Please meet "Starre" the newest member of the Hodges Household of Gilford, NH. He is a one year old LLewellin Setter and is field ready. I will be traveling to NM on September 22 to pick him up and bring him to his new home.

Some more pics

Absolutely beautiful setter. Enjoy Starre, he'll look really good in the New England coverts--or here in the mountains of NC. i hope for both of your enjoyment.

Thanks. I am very excited to get him home. When I told my sister who lives in Maine about this new pruchase this evening, she immediately said "buy me a ticket I am going with you", so I will have company on the trip. :)

Beautiful dog Steve. He sure looks like he has that fire in his belly to be a great hunting companion. May you both have many years in the field together along with a nice smallbore Parker.

Steve, What a wonderful looking pup! Congratulations to You and Patti...:)

Thanks guys, and Dave, maybe we can do a Vermont hunt with Dean:corn:

Great pic's

What a dog!! Congratulations Steve and Pat!

Has anyone told Starre about New England winters? :eek:

No Dean, I will fill him in when he gets here:whistle:

Steve what a great looking dog.

Congrats Steve! Can't wait to see her when you finally get her home.

And go hunting with us:)

Congratulations Steve, she certainly isn’t camera shy. It would be worth a plane ticket just to find out how they manage to get such fantastic action photos.

I live in NM, who did you buy dog from, I am looking for a dog.

Nice looking dog Steve, congrats.

Congratulations! And just in time for hunting season too

Beautiful dog, congrats. I know that he will be as special to you and your family as Gunner is to Rich's.

Nice! Should be death on woodcock. What's the grouse cycle like up there these days?

Destry

Nice looking dog, congrats. How did you manage to find a started dog esp in NM? As Gunner winds down I'll need another canine not to replace him as that just can't be done but to take some of the burden off Daisy.

In the northern part of the state, by my camp in Pittsburg, NH, we are on the third year of a very high cycle. From what I am seeing and from reports of other guys that know what they are talking about we may be at an historical high this year. Shoud be a great time to get Starre used to the whims of old ruff!

Rich - Call me at the cabin. 989-348-6662. I may have a lead for you if you're looking for a GSP grouse-type dog

steve, can i go hunting with you too, yes, very nice looking dog, i do love the setters, scott

Well we will see Scott.............we willl see:rotf:

steve, bird hunting is not like skeet shooting, i would let you shoot some of the birds :whistle: :shock: scott. see you tues. ??

Thats what I like about you guys.........................NO SLACK:banghead:

A real beauty with those setter eyes that touch the soul and warm the heart. A real blessing to share your days afield with a great looking setter.

Well, Star and I have been getting used to each other, he has been here just over two weeks. He is a really nice dog. This morning we got into some stocked pheasants and got our first birds. He pointed and held point very well.

'Scuse me?.... is that a Browning??

What a lovely pup though.

I'll let the 'Browning thing' slide this time.

:crying: nailed :shock: nice pic of you and dog, scott

Yup, pretty much:bowdown:

He had the perfect 12 ga. Parker DHE preserve pheasant gun... (operative word - "had")


Pretty dog though - and he looks very biddable.

Wonderful looking dog Steve but I question your choice of scattergun. We need to have a sit down I think......:rotf:

Ok, Ok, you grab the wrong gun and look what you have to put up with:rotf:

Guess I won't post the one of my turkey with the camo Benelli

no turkey killing with Benelli, parker 10 ga is for turkey killing :whistle: still would like to see pic . scott

Way I heard it he sold all his Parker's and made enough money to own the tomato stake free and clear :rotf:

Not all my Parkers, I still have a few, and what is a "tomato stake", if I might ask:bigbye:

O, Boy, the glove has been tossed :shock:, I thinks he's talkn about yourn shootn iron:eek:
