Dreaming...
 

A friend from Michigan came to Wisconsin with his two setters to do a little grouse and woodcock hunting with us. It appears the dogs had a pretty good time!

Now that's a great picture. You know the dogs had a good day to crash like that. How were the two legged companions that day???
Cheers,
Jack

The human companions were equally spent and the avian companions suffered a rough day, too.

Greg, I don't know which picture best represents what Dave and I feel like after a full day's hunt in the Vermont hills. We'd like to think we look as pretty as those slumbering setters but in reality we're nearly as dead and stinky as those two woodcock.

Great pictures!! Thanks!!

Dean are you trying to tell us Dave doesn't let you strech out in the back of the SUV after you have chased birds for him all day? Perhaps you need a better master:rotf:

Is that an offer? I'm staunch to flush and shot and I'll even fetch to hand any woodcock (retch) you're lucky enough to connect on. If you'll only let me stretch out in the back of your SUV I'll be faithful and ignore all your faults.

You could reside in the kennel if it wern't for your incurable habit of chaseing deer:corn: I suppose a few rounds with the E-collar wouldn't hurt....come on over and will give ya a run.

Rich,Try as I might I just can't seam to get Dean to stop chasing deer...but on the upside the older he get's his chases don't last as long....:biglaugh:

That's the upside Dave. When I get my buck early in the season I simply clean and case my Ruger and take out a favorite Parker and leisurely stroll the covers for pa'tridge. Whether I get any pa'tridge or not is inconsequential.... at least I'm doin' it again.

Oh, and another benefit is rising at a gentlemanly hour (well after sunrise) while hunting companions fought the frigid darkness (and probably forgot to brush the snow from the seat in the privy) blindly trying to find their deer stands in the puckerbrush. :bigbye:

Dean just as an FYI incase we ever share a deer camp, rising after sunrise is NOT a gentlemanly thing it's just plain lazy...hungover or not...it's like being late to church.

As for the chaseing of deer if you must persist in this deplorable habit perhaps you can be traind to chase only bucks as this would be usefull.

Dave does he chew your slippers too? :whistle:
