While we're waiting for the magic openers, memories can console. What is your favorite shot in your hunting history? A double on pheasant? A scotch double on quail? A duck that fell into the blind?
Give us the when, where, and how of it. You first then I will post mine.
Here's mine: I was hunting alone in western Kansas on a warmish, clear day. Gus the Brittany and I were heading south on a long north-south rise in a patch of CRP. Gus went on point and as I hustled up to him he broke point and began trailing. (Gus is not trained to hold point until released; I leave it up to him.) Then he pointed again, then broke and trailed. And another, and another, and on and on. In all he went on point about 10 - 12 times, vigorously trailing between them. After we had covered about 200 yards in this manner I was panting trying to keep up and then the cock flushed. In the bag. That was my most satisfying shot ever. The dog work was without a single command or sound from me.
