hunting dog journals

[Dean Romig]

Unfortunately I haven't kept a journal on Grace other than a picture record and my memories of those days.

Grace's first grouse and her first woodcock...

And my grandson Cam's first woodcock that Grace pointed and almost retrieved. She's gotten pretty discerning about what she'll put in her mouth... she eats goose, horse, cat, and turkey excrement but she won't pick up a woodcock anymore - but I'm certainly glad she still points them.

I have a friend that would think Grace has better taste than those that eat woodcock!

I’m just happy to have her flash point them after I shoot them. I love woodcock breasts!

The journal I read the other day featured my now oldest setter when he was 8 months old. He had 49 grouse points that year around home and another 13 in New Hampshire. Now 14 years later as I see him asleep in front of the stove I am cementing my memory of this past season and the birds I shot over him. I want to keep those memories forever as they may be the last.
