Name is James. I'm from East Central Wisconsin where I spend the Spring chasing long beards. A "Learn To Hunt" program Mentor for over ten years, taking "first timers" of all ages is my passion. Summer is spent waiting for fall. While we love chasing Pheasants locally, my best friend and long time hunting partner affectionately refer to it as "practice" for the real thing; hunting South Dakota. Love all hunting dogs of all breeds but Labs have been my companions afield. Now that I'm getting older, seriously looking into Pointing Labs for my next adventure. I've been reading the forum for quite some time and finally decided to join in the fun.
