What a dog Tom are you ready to go? Bobby

Heck yea Bobby. Well except it being plus 80 degrees in Michigan now.

Well Tom, let me tell you about Saturday. First, please notice that I haven't posted any pictures. Saturday morning I drove to Lake county and hit the woods at about 8:15. I walked on the "family" 40 acres (mostly oak and pines) for close to 2 hours and flushed one robin and one squirrel. Then I drove to a larger, and thicker piece of our property. I instantly flushed 2 birds, but barely caught a glimpse of one. Within the next 10 minutes I had 3 more flushes, probably the same young birds, but all I could see was foliage. I hunted for another hour, but no more birds. By 11:30 it was over 80 degrees and I was getting well acquainted with the local mosquitos and gnats. I decided to proceed to my cottage in Traverse City and go swimming in the bay. Hopefully the birds will still be there in a few weeks when it's cooler and the leaves start falling.

Great dog Tom!

Thanks for the nice comments. Sophie is a little shit in the house. Into everything. That said, she is a little demon in the woods. Great bird finder and really will hold a point. Retrieving is a work in progress, but I don't want to force break her to retrieve as that can take the spirit out of a pup. She's 2.5 years old. Michigan next month and then lots of Woodcock chasing here in Va and hopefully a grouse or two. Maybe even a Pheasant in Pa. First pointing dog in my life. Takes some getting used to.

Beautiful! Looks like she's posing for a C grade floorplate!

Some folks can't see the other pics. Trying something different. Hopefully this one can be seen my all.

Really nice hope your hunt goes well
