The setter's name is 'Buddy' and he's six (6) years old. We shot pheasants over him at Markover this past Saturday. We waited for the drizzle to stop around 11 am and then went out to the fields with his owner and handler Roy who is like a member of our family after all these years. With the air heavy with so much moisture, the scent conditions were terrific. We just needed the birds to fly and they did! All in all, it was a good day with a great friend and former teammate and just a super pre-Christmas treat.

Alan,
Glad to hear you had a good day at Markover. I took my 7 month old Britt out for a little training this weekend and the humidity and 10 mph breeze made scenting the birds ideal. I love this time of year.

Have Parker can/will travel Autumn Daze.

Besides the folks at Markover being 'regular' and gracious hosts, there's no pretentiousness about the place. Keith and Kevin and their staff are great people. Over the past several years, they've expanded the property, opened and developed new cover for their birds and this has made for even better time in the field.
