I wouldn't hunt birds without a dog they just add so much to the experience before, during and after the hunt.
Daisy is now 10 and my wife is adamant about no more dogs until her collar hangs with the others. When the right one comes along it will be a matter of asking for forgiveness rather than permission.
I've told her that if I go first I want to be cremated and placed between Ilsa and Gunner.
