Wonderful photos and story! Great ending to the season and I especially liked what appeared to be a rock solid point on that Armadillo! Our pup (similar age) has pointed a lot of Carolina Wrens and Anoles.

For those who like flyfishing lore and not familiar with Garry's reference to Sparse Gray Hackle there is a decent bio and interview of him done by Hoagie Bix Carmichael (Hoagie Carmichael's son) on Youtube at the link below. The piece includes several minutes of interview with Nick Lyons also.

Thanks Garry!
