My new shorthair pup, Gus.

Get a shorthair that looks like a lab!

My shorthair tore hers last summer. She was 10 and I couldn't justify surgery. She seemed okay for a few days and developed a lack of an appetite. She declined rapidly and I had to have her put down. I was fine doing less with her.

I have GSP out of one of John Prince's dogs. Didn't get it from him but he owned the stud dog. Good bloodlines for sure.

Shorthairs for the last 25 years or so. Wanted a Brittany pup back in 2001 and was having trouble finding one. Found some shorthairs and picked one out. Have had them ever since. Haven't really had a bad one in that span. Good dogs. Hunt primarily quail with a pheasant hunt mixed in here...

Finished up down here in Oklahoma.

New shorthair pup.

Whoa for sure. Requires no birds. I use a check cord hitch around waist. Know guys that have used tables. Cord works well for me.

Duke with some Oklahoma bobs yesterday. Nice way to finish the season.

I’ve lost one over the years but it was a wet morning and I had tape issues…

On the Lewis boots, I first put on duct tape sticky side out. Then boot on. Then duct tape boot on.

I’ve always used Lewis boots but I think make some tube boots next year. Expensive to lose a Lewis boot.

They’re not super warm but pilot gloves take the bite off a little and have good feel for safety and trigger. All I use anymore.

A sweet 16 is a sweet 16. If your browning just says sixteen then it isn’t a sweet sixteen. Same for 50s guns… if it doesn’t say “sweet” then it isn’t one. There are differences. Weight is the biggest difference. I’m talking about vintage guns…
