I've always wanted to watch a grouse or woodcock field trial. A bit too far to drive, but I'd sure enjoy any photos you might post of the action.

Down here in the Deep South, our field trial season is ending. Too hot and too many snakes. We run from November till the middle of March. We have mostly GSPs, Vizlas, Weimaraners and a few Setters. I judged only one stake this entire season. I just can't take 6 to 8 hours, or more, in the saddle anymore. Good luck with the trials, hope it's nothing but Blue Ribbons and Field Champion points.

I’ve always wanted to ride in the gallery at the Nationals once .
