Here, Here! I hope you do find some resident birds, I'm here in Downeast Maine, usually the 2nd or 3rd week of Oct flights start trickling in, but not this year. Unfortunatley our season isnt that long and it looks like the end of November the flights will come through. We rescued an English pointer from pointerrescue.org, an amazing rescue group, last Dec. We had planned on fostering Danny to keep him from being euthanized, but when he arrived we knew he was a Riddell and it payed off he is one hell of a bird dog. I'm hoping this snow doesnt last long and I'll try to get him on grouse. Best of luck with your partner!

Good for you Rick. I too rescued 2 labs a few years back and they have been wonderful companions in the field and around the house. I'm positive they know I saved their butts as they never leave my side and really want to please me. I don't think I'll ever go to another breeder for my next dog as there are thousands of great dogs looking for a good home. Good luck with the grouse and give Danny a scratch behind the ear for me.

Will do, and I have the same sentiment as you, this is our first English pointer and man is he fun! All pup indoors and a machine in the field. I use to over look rescues but not anymore, there are definitely some hidden gems out there looking for a little love. Our Weimaraner came from a breeder but he just didnt have any drive or desire to hunt.
