So, Brett, I won't tell you about the grouse in Northeastern Iowa and Southeastern Minnesota. Forget I even mentioned it.

At the risk of getting kicked out of Missouri, I agree with your sentiments about Iowans.

Oh I may have taken a gander at that corner. Our youngest is set to get hitched next summer to a wonderful young man that hails not so very far from there in Iowa. Buzzy the Setter pup is getting him accustomed to having bird dog hair on him every time they visit. While I have noticed he made eye contact with the dog. Also he liked the bird pants and Russell boots I lent him while he helped me split wood. Right handed, looks like 14 3/8" -1/2". He has a new car that could fit two dog boxes. And thinks nothing of driving 10- 12 hours.

Break him in right(!) Nothing better than to have a younger guy that can tote and fetch on a hunting trip (I've been that toter and fetcher on more than one occasion in my life). It also helps to keep one optimistic about the future.
