Here we are. The boys wanted to see the Mitchell Corn Palace, then off to the family farm 80 m NW. Perfect weather, lots of birds, everybody limited out , or could have, every day. Birds holding for the dogs, perfect.

We had our pistolero contest.

Picture of Goatboy Jim Hall, the Pied Piper. Don't want to tease Jim very much.....his grandfather died at 92 and he had to leave early. Best wishes in a difficult time. He had been in a nursing home and not well. Jim shot a big rooster ,having it mounted.

It was Charlie Herzog, Jeff Kuss, Jim Hall, Larry Thompson, Pete Kappes, Dave Weber and me. The big black and white dog with the long snout is Larry's new Hampshire setter, at least it doesn't bark incessently. Its a real pig when it comes to eating.

Picture of Charlie and the old beater A grade.

Dunkle didn't make it, sick after Haiti, but we penciled him in for another trip out here.
