Getting some fresh water from Big Mike!
Big Mike Handled his wonderful dogs both of the day.
The dogs do all the work, pointed solid and retrieved all shot birds.
They were a total pleasure both days.
We had many points 30-40 "yards" off, Mikey needs to look way
further up on the hill!

A good days catch!
Byran's first bird hunt comes to an end on the second day. I think he is hooked forever.
We took even more birds the second day, but we had to rush home
for Marie's fine cooking and it got too late to get pictures of the second days take.
Byran is looking forward to next years family weekend hunt.Though not all photographed, all our dogs were hunted on this hunt and/or throughout the season.
