The beeper did it
Just couldn’t wait to share this with you …
The location of this leg of the Awesome Upland Road Trip will be revealed in a later post, but this piece of dog work was too good to hold. We were walking the old road below this bush, when Buddy’s beeper screamed. A short debate later, yours truly was elected to climb/trudge/crawl up the slope to roust the bird.
In the time it took to get there, Buddy’s re-establishing points followed the cardinal points of the compass, as the bird zigged and zagged in the bush looking for an escape route. He locked that bird in tight, and no amount of sticks lobbed into the bush would roust him.
I finally turned off the Tri-Tronics beeper’s hawk scream and stood still. The silence was deafening, until the roar of ringneck wings broke it. Bang.
Until I tell you where this took place, tell me where you’d wear a new pair of Irish Setter boots and jacket and you might win them! Right here. Below. Now. Don’t wait.

I would wear them right here in Tennessee and Kentucky where we quail hunt 3-4 days every week. I have been wearing Danner pronghorns for several years but they are not the boot they used to be. I am currently looking for a comfortable boot that will hold up. It must have goretex. believe me, my partner and i could put them to the test.
I’d wear ’em walking behind a good bird dog, that’s where!!! 🙂
My husband might wear them when we visit his father in Idaho.
