Steve that was pretty much my day yesterday but I didn't get really cold but I got really, really wet. I went to the Haymarsh for pheasants with Daisy and a new to me DHE 20 with 30 inch barrels I adopted at Hausmanns last year. I was going to take Gunner's Gun but it was wet and dreary so as I haven't used this particular gun since the adoption it's the one I chose. Four hours of hunting in the rain produced one rooster with one shot. On the way home Daisy curled up on the heated seat after I toweled her off some and dreamed the dreams bird dogs do. I gave her some extra food and poured a toddy (ok it was three) and we both dozed off in the recliner.
