a black makes a nice day out,

i am seeing few waterfowl in the area, saw some mallards dumping into a corn field around Batavia while on the thruway last week, and finally a few geese in the cut corn in the Rush area.

Haven't chased ducks for years but still pay attention to their movement, and just not seeing them yet this year.

Charlie - she is a Duetsch drathaar - a German wirehaired pointer out of 3 Devils Kennel in Idaho. 5 years old. Not the best retriever in our club but a wonderful dog. I am lucky to have her and I wouldn't trade her for the world.

I just hope the warm, sunny weather down here blows over, and we get some good old cold, stormy weather. It was looking good last week, but then the rain and cold front moved on

Here she is with an Adirondack mountain woodcock this summer - My DH 20 sits next to both of them.

looks a dog for all seasons....my dad used german short hair pointer for quail for many years...charlie

At 68 years old, I am too damned old to have a lesser pup than a Wirehair attempt to break me in. My present Wirehair, Eva, is a wild and crazy breath of fresh air after a life of Irish Setters, English Pointers, English Setters, and wonderful Springers brought into my family by The Lovely Linda. In our later years, Linda and I may have to share our home with Springers and Wirehairs, but after Eva, my house will never be without a Drat or a German Wirehair. You guys don't know what you are missing.
