Smiling Shorthairs


This is how I know for sure the Woodcock flights are in. When Dan smiles in the back of the truck you will need some extra shells. Now where did he go this time. Does anybody make electronic bells for the old die hards?

Wore out bird hunter


The way I see it is:
20 year old Browning Upland Special
Broke in Double Tins, nearly 20 years old, took 15 to do it.
Rangey German Shorthairs
One wore out huntin' buddy
Cold Beer
Cool October weather
The sounds of Geese flying South
And some prime Grouse & Woodcock Cover, yes there is a dog on point and a hunter in the picture.
In Heaven It's always October.

Woodcock & Grouse hunting


Once again I was forced to take out those rangey Shorthairs. Why does my life have to be so difficult, I go bird hunting every day with those pointers, have a couple beers when I'm done and then I have to clean the damn things. Life is so unfair to me. This is the "Southern Belle" one of our old cagey Shorthairs on point again. Almost out of shells again, Another dilemma I'm faced with. Maybe bird season should be shorter, NOT!

Grouse & Grouse Shooting


Another day out in the woods in N. Wisconsin. Seen plenty of birds, missed six and got one. Covered a lot of ground today. I need a cold Bud Light. Check out the tattered Filsons & the tattered hunter.

Hillbilly Brown Dogs


I just don't understand, what is so hard about seeing the liver colored shorthairs.
After a little bit of a search I found the "Southern Belle" on point. I missed the grouse, the photo session is to blame, of course. I know most of you don't have to search because of electronics, I just like the sound of the bells. Just a old die hard bird hunter.

Dan the Shorthair


Here is our newest addition to our Pointer family. A pure Hillhaven German Shorthaired Pointer. I'm always being bashed for hunting those "Liver" colored shorthairs. Well it snowed here yesterday and the only pointers you could see were the "Hillbilly Brown Dogs" as Scooter refers to them. I think old Dan is figuring this bird hunting thing out.
