I took my Lab out today (Max) for his first Pheasant hunt, and Iwill have to say, I am quite pleased on how he performed in the field

, and to know my hard work has paid off

. We brought home 7 Pheasant, shot 9 but 2 were cripples which got themselves lost before Max could get to them. of the 9 total birds, one was kicked up by my daughter, and Maxflushed a rooster sitting right were one of the shot birds fell. He pointed 7 birds in all and would not flush until Iwas there doing it or told him to do it. I don't brag much, but that had to be (other than watching him work) the most beutiful thing you could see. We have a duck/goose hunt this weekend I cannot wait. I would post a pick but don't know how to do that.
