Harold and Daryl, I remember a few years ago, I shared a field of mixed pheasants and chukars at Native Shore, an Eastern Shore RSA, with a friend who was celebrating his 90th birthday with his side lever Grant. My gun of choice was long forgotten, but it was a Parker, but my Wirehair, Eva, was not forgotten. My friend wanted to shoot over the guide's dog, and we did, for one field, and suffered through some missed points and busted birds. The second field, he reluctantly agreed to shoot over Eva. She pointed and retrieved a field of 11 or 12 birds and also "retrieved" a winged cockbird from a tree about 300 yards from the original point. My friend and the guide were reluctantly impressed.
