Phil,

As an interesting side note (at least to me), Nick Sisley took my dog. Ok, he didn't actually take my dog but he does (I'm assuming he still has Boggs) have a GSP that was offered to me prior to Nick taking him in.

I had adopted a lab that belonged to one of my best friends a few years ago. A short while after adopting my lab, Max, my friend mentioned that his boss needed to re-home his GSP and wanted to know if I would like to take him in. Knowing the type of hunter that his boss, Scott, was and the time and money that had been put in to Boggs, I was honored by the offer but ultimately had to turn him down as another dog was not an option at the time.

A little while later, my friend mentioned to me that Boggs had found a new home... with Nick. If I recall correctly, his boss and Nick were college roommates and have hunted together on occasion ever since school.

If of any interest, a little while ago I came across an old article by Nick Sisley where he mentions he and Scott hunting together

Marc, really cool! Very interesting; thanks for sharing! I'm a pretty poor trap shooter and have never shot skeet so I was hoping Nick's book would help. Probably won't though .

That's fine by me Dean; I love reading that stuff even though it's a bit different from my prairie uplands.

As an avid fly fisher who loves the sport the same way I love Parkers, I have to correct Mt, Man. Charly Meck is avery good fly fisher and author of several good fly fishing books. Mr. (Bing, I think)Metz is the owner of Metz fly fishing feathers. Both are Pa. Boys
