Jeff, I am preparing for my trip to northern Maine in a couple of weeks and have been following the weather. It looks warm now but will have a 20+ degree drop for the high in about two weeks. Just in time to freeze my butt off. I CANT WAIT! Dave

That's fantastic Bob! Glad she is coming up to speed so quickly! Dave

Thanks everyone. I have passed on your info and am leaving it to my friend to find his new pup. Thanks again! Dave

They look fantastic Steve!.......and HUGE! Dave

I have a friend and old Hunter Safety Instructor buddy who called tonight to tell me his 9 year old Chessie passed away yesterday. He is looking for a pup and I was wondering if anybody knew of any breeders or litters in the Mid Atlantic area. Any help would be appreciated. Dave

Thanks everyone for your help. I'm thinking I will go with the Denier and try it out. My biggest concern are some shoreline rocks that have barnacles that tend to get at his feet pretty good. Thanks again. Dave

I agree. My above "griping" was mostly tongue in cheek. Although the science of predicting fall flights has improved immensely, there are numerous factors which will decide whether you see ducks or not. I have had fantastic days when the conditions were ideal for sunbathing and worthless hunts...

How do the tubes work for water retrieves? Dave

My dog is getting older and he seems to have feet problems more often from running thru rough terrain. Anybody got any suggestions for a black lab?

Lucky that my "need to limit out days" are long gone and my real desire is just to have some peace and quiet and watch the dogs and younger hunters enjoy themselves. Reading the cover of a DU magazine every year brings chuckles because I just don't believe it. Every year is a banner year for...

Looks like a great bunch of fun Pat. That drake sprig looks just like the one I have sitting on my mantel....thanks to your talents. I agree, that was a generous gift to those youngsters. It only makes sense to me to give back to the next generation. I usually end up with a couple dozen plastic...

I got a chance this past Sunday to take my youngest to the skeet range and shoot two boxes thru the gun. I have to say I was very happy with it. It feels a little "front" heavy when you shoulder it and I found that my electronic ear muffs would hit the stock when shouldered so I put them away...

Great story Dani, thanks for sharing it. Dave
