My Mom would most times go with my Dad, more often than not, after squirrels. When I got married, Elaine would go with me on occasion. When I got bird dogs, she decided she would go along every time they did so that she could look out for them (yea, I think she likes the dogs better than she does me, but, hey, I get the world's greatest "kennel boy" to go with me). I like to tell folks that when we go hunting (Elaine does not shoot) I am always the best shot out there(...and the worst...). Elaine is the best hunting buddy I have ever had.
