Even with a sixteen Craig can't seem to pull himself away from 10 gauge waterfowl loads... obviously

Truth be told those little bottle rockets made a fool out of this old duck hunter! Mark Kircher is the man when it comes to these little devils, he is an amazing shot. They can disappear behind trees and brush faster than any Ruff Grouse. They flush at your feet and are gone before you can say sh*t. Not that it would matter much but I had the wrong gun for the game, choked way to tight for my shooting skills. Fun trip in beautiful almost unspoiled country. Only downer was I cracked the stock of my GHE trying to dispatch a cripple, stupid me.

Phil -
We had a great time with Dave - He sure speaks highly of You and Your freindship! I am a big fan of his 2 1/2 year old "Garret". That dog can hunt!!! Here is a nice pic I took of Dave. I hope we see you out there next time.

Phil: Dave's Garrett pointer is the real deal, bird finding machine. Dave is a very nice man and speaks very highly of you, small world!

Just stopped N of Phx on my way to Vegas. Dave and Garret are the real deal. Have hunted with Him before he could shave LOL. No better hunting partner or guide with dogs that can find Mearns quail.

For those who have not seen it - Here are a couple pics of "The Wall" that now seperates The USA from Mexico in southern Arizona Mearns country. It was not quite what I had imagined when I arrived. I am not sure what I expected to see......but this was not it.........
