    Gaiters?

    I have been using the FL gaiters for years now. Keeps dew and other moisture from climbing up your pant leg and thus getting your socks wet. I also like the fact I don't get burrs and foxtail sticking to them and it also keeps stuff out of your boot strings.

    CZ woodcock over/under 12 gauge

    The Woodcock is a great gun with basically the same features as the Redhead but just with a different received finish. I got a few CZ's and they work fine. That is the CZ 1012 in the pic below but I have SxS and O/U guns.

    Worse year ever

    Completely devastated today. Josie Belle was diagnosed with lymphoma. She is my everything and the best lab I have ever had. I feel helpless we can't help her and it is killing me to even think she is on borrowed time.

    Called this guy in for a first timer last weekend. The birds came in silent and it took a couple hours of light calling every 20-30 minutes to get the job done with a flock deke set up. Headed back out tomorrow with another first timer. Hope I can repeat last weekend.
