Mark: My hands sound like yours. Thinsulate gloves help for me. Unfortunately, I don't realize if they have gotten too cold, so I try to be very careful once the snow is flying. But....... ain't retirement great. I seldom see another hunter when I'm chasing birds on Mondays to Fridays. I usually let them have Saturday.
Fred and Richard: I really enjoyed my GSP TAZ for 8 seasons but cancer took him at a relatively young 9 years old. Often think of that boy but having CHARLIE become a good bird dog has helped.
