A hunt near Forest City ,Maine with my two dogs---Belle and Meg----with Lance Wheaton and Tom Wooden several years ago.
We hit a flight that had come in during the night, the limit of woodcock was 3 per person, around 10 am I asked ,"How many birds do we have?". Tom said none, Lance said one and I said seven. We broke up and I had not walked more than 100 feet when Meg went on point, I flushed the bird and said to the others---"We are all Done !"
We still talk about that hunt. I had my PHE -24"--28 gauge along with the best two, woodcock and grouse, Brits I ever owned---Meg & Belle
I had great hunts with those two dogs and when I retired from the Board , the PGCA gave me an oil panting of them of which I enjoy on a daily basis.
