Max and I ventured west to a shooting preserve for an initial workout - sort of a test to see how he fares, at 12 years young. Weather was in the 50's, sunny, no wind and did hit low 60's before we were done. He did OK but faded with the heat; however,after a long drink, he was ready for...

Hey George, Sorry to hear that physically, things aren't going well. One never knows, at our age (84) that one morning we'll wake up with the next ailment that prevents any future hunts. I'm still planning on 3-4 tours in SD and hopefully...the younger guys can keep up!

Hey Joel, Assume you have sold all of your dogs by now or are there some left? Jon

Gatsby, Thanks for your insight...appreciated. Guess I'm sensitive to the dogs sight et al - had one do go blind at age 8. And I'm noticing he doesn't hear very well direction ally. Both of us are getting old, I guess; I'll be 85 in January and he's 12!

Bob - really enjoyed reading about your trip! To be truthful, I couldn't tell a chicken from a duck, never hunted them...

Have exclusively used the orange...until now; it appears he doesn't do well with the color. I'll stick with white.

Has anyone found bumper color makes a difference? I have a blaze orange bumper and normally the dog has no problems picking it up. Lately I noticed he would run by it - wondering if he's going blind? The dog is 12 and not showing blind tenancies. I did some research and found one trainer that...

How was the hunting around G'burg? Looks like most of the public stuff is east of town...

Thanks, Joel - good to know.

Bob's probably gets the nod most evenings...

I'm sure everyone has a grand time at your house...just wondering how several different meals are coordinated, especially at the dinner hour.

Bob, Can you describe the typical meal-time at your house...when there are multiple groups attempting to cook? Seems like mass confusion...

Looking good, Tom!

Brent- thanks for resurrecting this topic...

There's a bird cleaner in Winner (Tripp Ct) that you could speak with...701-478-8000; his name is Rick Kucera.

Bob: Can't imagine keeping track of two high-powered Golden's. I just have one...more than enough dog to keep up with, as he's a hunting machine.

$94/night!! Ouch! I recall something in the range of$50 when we first started hunting that area. I'm at the flea bag in Prescho...didn't ask the price. Only other alternative is Chamberlain. Jon

Ron, Thanks for the message and your history with Golden's. My Max has some Top Brassdogs in his background:Top Brass Take It To The Max, SR Top Brass Toast To Emma...this on the male side of the Pedigree. Female (Dam) Topbrass Diamonds Rubies and Pearls. Max has been an amazing dog - my...

Kismet: I think you're right!

Mr. Jones: Thanks for posting a photo of your Golden's...however, was wondering what the straps around the rear of the dogs was about? Current Golden will turn 12 in September but seldom hunted "close." Quite a pheasant machine but needed continual prodding to hunt in range. Poor training...
