If it wasn't for the bird dogs I wouldn't bird hunt. A good friend and a good gun help but it's all just a walk in the great outdoors without a dog.

Everyone here should make this trip. It is a place steeped in history but so much more than that it is a place that all of the great dog stories of our youth were born by guys like Mr. Buck who rode these hallowed grounds chasing dogs and writing about them. Buck covered the Grand for the American Field and Sports Afield and was a Trial judge as well. The Hall of Fame museum takes hours to see and it is a treasure trove of old photos and stories behind every nook. The staff is incredible and very knowledgeable and like I said all of the gundog breeds are covered. Then ride out the 5 minutes to Ames and walk the grounds.......Like stepping back in time. All of the original structures are still in place and Ames is an active agricultural extension of the University of Tennesee with lots of research in place. Rhea cabin to the stables and kennels to the old green steps. It is some place. 1hr easy drive east of Memphis or 50 minutes from Central BBQ Midtown.....Oh Yeah! A must see as well.
