Love English Pointers. Rick R - since you're from the Downeast area of Maine, you might appreciate this. I hunted NW of Bangor for two weeks at the end of October, pretty much in the Lakes region....from Rockwood down to Abbot/Dover-Foxcroft and over and up to north of Millinocket. One of the worst years in recent memory for weather, but one of the better years woodcock-wise in a long time. My little pointer, Pink, had a great time with the flight birds. Sorry - the gun is not a Parker - it's an A.H.Fox AE20, but still nice to carry in the covers!
First bird on first day.
When the flights are in, limits come way too easy!!
Rick - I take my hat off to you for going the rescue route. I've looked through pointerrescue.org a few times and there appear to be some very nice quality dogs out there that people have given up.
