Nice hat!!

Thanks Dean , That was a stroke of luck to be honest capturing the Woodcock ,I had hoped to get it but I had my gun in one hand and brush sticking up my Bu.... ,well you get the idea !

The gun is my, oo Frame 28 Ga. DHE in the last five pictures .w/ the After market Forend which I hope to rectify after hunting season !

Also the HAT , Thank You ,I love that old hat and have wore it for years ,on the other side I have a Pewter Grouse in flight and a Pewter Britt pointing it ! I must have an odd size head and when I bought it ,an X large was too big and a Large too tight ,believe it or not ,I bought a large and had a local seamstress take it out a bit ! When I am out ,at times I get comments from other hunters about the HAT ! Russ

The old Super Dog is a Brittany believe it or not ! I owned his Mother also ,she was out of the Belding Britts from Pa. ,Chip is a big Britt 60 Lb.,his Mother was Leggy as well and carried around 50 Lb. most of her adult life ,she was also a Tri Color ,his sister Annie is standard small Orange and white ! Chip is a hunting machine but sad to say ,at his age he wears down after about three hours and I have to put him up for the day !

Wow, a 60 lb. Brit. My brother-in law had a litter mate of one of my dad's GWPs that went 85 lbs. When we'd all hunt together in looked like the 3 bears; His 85 pounder, my dad's 55 pounder, and my 45lb GWP dog, Ringer.
More times than I remember, Ringer and I would go out for a short 'walk' when I got home from work, and bring home 2 partridge. Those were the days before the wild turkey moved in and drove the king out.
Nothing more rewarding than hunting over a good Versatile Hunting Dog.
