Hi, My son recently turned 8 and I am looking down the distance road when he is ready to start hunting. The boy throws left handed but he is truly ambidextrous. We have to remind him to hit from the left side of the plate in little league. I plan to test him to see which is his dominant eye in...

Hi, A couple of photos from a recent trip. I saw this old boy in a grocery store in the Methow Valley. He looked about as old and beat up as the pickup he was laying in. He did enjoy a quick scratch behind the ears. Here is one of Aspen as she waits paitently for the crew of...

Hi, Today I introduced the boy to working on trailer lights. I feel a little bad about doing this to him at such a young age but those are the breaks. I tried to explain to him that he will be facing a lifetime of dealing with trailer lights that don't work if he wants to keep fishing and...

Hi, I wanted to share a photo of my girl Aspen with a face full. The only thing that keeps this from being one of my all time favorite photos of the dog is that I didn't shoot the bird Sutton did. At least it wasn't one of the many birds I missed on the trip. My best, Don

Hi, It is that time of the year again. Time to take the pup in to make sure she made it through the season without any damage and will be ready for next year. Even though I am sure Madison was very thorough we will still go see our vet who has finished vet school. Ever since Madison started...

Hi, The upland season closed today. We got out to put it to bed. Not to many birds to find when the snow is as deep as it is this year. We spent part of the weekend on snowshoes. The birds were holding incredibly tight in the deep snow. Aspen had a flush this weekend that will stick with me for...
