As for guns, David used an LC Smith 20 and a DeHann 28. John Brownell used an LC Smith 20 and a Browning 20 O/U. Keavin Nelson used a Parker 20 and a Fox Sterly 20. I used a Parker VH 20 and a Lefever DS 20. Took 5 birds with the Parker and 5 with the Lefever.

The guide that took Dave and I out had 6 Brits. Two were French Brits, larger and tri-colored. If they had tails they could have passed for Setters. The guide that took Keavin and John out had GSPs. At least two.

Friday we visited Tombstone and Suagaro NF. Both worthwhile.
Thanks, On our trip to SW Kansas this year the sand burrs did in both of my dog's paws after a day and 1/2. Temps were cool enough (25-50) that the snakes were underground. Did you encounter any snakes? I am not a fan of poisonous snakes, especially with my dogs on the ground.
