2013-2014 Season
     We had one of the best years and had an excellent opening day of the annual family HUNT! The cover was much better than last year and birds were plentiful. All dogs are our PURE DASHING BONDHU's and they did some amazing work. We had two young dogs to start and enjoyed getting out our ole' reliable Setters. The continue to amaze and improve every year. We were glad my nephew Dennis
, brother in-law Russ, and my son USMC Mike Jr. were able make it to this years annual hunt.

No bird are going to get past these two.




A young Dashing Bondhu has located another one on his first hunt!
You can see how good the cover was this year, we actually had fields to hunt instead of just hedge rows this fall.
Better cover means a lot more birds than last year.

2013 Opening Day take,
30 quail and 15 Kansas Ring-Neck Pheasants!
Taken by only three shooters. That is 10 quail and 5 pheasants each.
One of the best benifits of our Setters is our annual  family hunt.
I have to thank Dennis, Russ and Mike Jr. for helping me start the young dogs.


As usual, we had several training sessions and other hunts throughout the 2013-2014 season, but we did not get pictures.

The 2014-2015 season looks to be an awesome year and have planned some more Kansas Ringneck hunts,  wild Quail hunts, and eastern TN & KY Ruffed Grouse hunts.
