For me, it’s all in the dogs. How about you?
… about bird hunting?
Yep, we talk a good game about the wonders of the natural world, cycle of life, camaraderie, miracles large and small performed by our dogs. But if you had to narrow it down to a single, specific item that would stop you from hunting any more if it were absent … what would it be?

I would miss the unrestrained joy of my retrievers as they blast out of their crates on opening day.
the dogs got us there, keep us there…no go without ythem
