Step up and a big covey flushes.

You don’t see many “out of the box” savant pups. I’ve had one in 30+ years. I’ll bet that pup and you had some memorable days.

So you run a setter and a pointer together? Very cool! Must be amazing to watch.

Yes. They run well together and do not compete.

PGCA Pres Wooden is competitive . If Russ was going to retrieve , Tom was also .

Russ was shooting an 1890’s PH 20 with laminated barrels. A rare gun .

Good to see they’re both well broke. I hope they weren’t hard mouthed.

[Bruce Day]

Broke to retrieve , yes, but not house broke.

I love my 24" PHE 16 for shooting over pointers, especially in hvy cover. Nice hunt Bruce!
