Recall walking inside Andy's grove, caught my foot on something and down I went, landing on a log or rock with my left shoulder...rotator cuff surgery followed! At 84 falling is more frequent - feet seem to gravitate to the big holes. Of course I'm not watching where I walk...too busy watching...

gh: Just watched Sage track the cripple, shot next to a lake...amazing dog. Sure full of energy! As usual, "trust the dog."

My Golden has been chewing a "Benebone" since he was a puppy; at 11.5 yrs, his teeth are quite healthy. We attribute that to his chewing on this bone, which is indestructible. Try it...Amazon $10.62. Occasionally I'll scale his two front teeth, but we mainly rely on the bone...

Here's a little different take on dog's that point...my Golden had a lot of time at a game farm in his youth; the trainer I used had access to the farm so I worked out well. Max started hesitating/pointing at an early age; he now holds a point way too long and usually it's a hen. However...

Apparently raw eggs, for a dog, is not good-- cooked OK. Risk: salmonella infection.

Hi Mike, If you would send me your regular email address, I'll forward a pic of Max - mouthful of quills! JOn

Birdman, Thanks for the kind words...mainly hunt SD, west river and some in western MN(preserve).

Hey George, At 84, with a Golden that will be 12 in September, I continue to contemplate another hunting friend. Can't imagine hunting without a dog, but assume my legs will tell me when the hunt is over...

Tom, A fond farewell to Buddy...we spent lots of hours together with you and your friend. A few tense times with he and Max, but overall two accomplished retrievers. Won't forget when they arrived at a downed bird together and each had a piece of it and wouldn't let go...not much left of the...

Congrats on the new puppy,Tom. Maybe we can hunt together again next fall. Please send us progress reports.

4shot: Your report caught my eye...sorry to hear about your dog's ear infection. If you read some of the past discussions (here) on this issue, you'll find you are not alone. Surgery for a grass awn deep in my dog's ear was rather expensive - $4000! Hope we don't have a future episode...

I'll ditto BrdHntr - have watched all of your videos and enjoyed them...good job and thanks for the effort and for sharing them with us.

P&L: I have a similar arrangement: Battery powered glove liners with the mittens over the liners. The mittens have a slot for hand warmers, so I include those as well. I like the idea of wool on top... Had surgery on my left ndex finger - new joint and it's really sensitive to cold...

Joel, Been feeding my Golden Nutro Natural Choice for 11 years - mix a small amount of canned stuff as well. He seems to thrive on the food, has a sheen to his coat as well. Buy on line for $55/30 lb bag.

Thanks. Is the dog trained or yet to be trained?

GH: we saw just snippets of your Dad's dog - Ivy. What breed is Ivy? Thanks.

GH: Your video's are most enjoyable - good job!

We covered some of the same fields twice...and approached them in a different way - still lots of hens. I don't have the luxury of visiting this farm during breeding season; I'm sure it would be different...

I recently bought a pair of battery- powered glove liners - need to be worn with something over them. I opted for a pair of mittens that open in the middle. Have yet to try them out but I suspect the mitten will be a bit cumbersome and awkward. Getting the stock to the shoulder in cold...

I've had it happen with two guns! Really puts a scare in you at the time...
