The more wind, the less accurate I am at pointing my gun. The wind blows my barrels around, knocks me off-balance, etc. I wd go for more open chokes to compensate. Also, the birds are easier to get close to on windy days, as they do not hear you coming.

My vet (son) on Vet's Day.

First couple of weeks are too hot even for a shorthair and the rattlesnakes are still out. You can have it.

I carry only two things, needle-nose pliers to pull quills and nylon filament tape to hog-tie the dog with for the duration of the quill extraction. More stuff in the vehicle, of course.
