Max is the star of that picture. He belongs to my great friend whose land we hunted, and is hands down the best retriever I've ever seen. His average is usually higher than mine!
Now that the duck and dove seasons are about gone I must soon busy myself scouting turkeys for my Arkansas friend to hunt when he comes in the spring. I hope to close out the dove season today with one last afternoon shoot, after which I will enter into a state of depression that cannot be treated by any physician.
