As I noted I the other thread, I would at like to have a dog, if not a boat, for the Eastside. When I did have dogs we did reasonably well over there. I think one opener I got about a half-dozen Sprig and Greenheads that were all cripples left behind by others.

On one occasion out in the sage both dogs came to fine points (Brit and Lab). when I kicked the sage there was a riot of color and a "quack". Drake Mallard. Next day, while chasing some pheasant in willows around the North Potholes I, and the Lab, spotted another Greenhead running around. Collected him. Dogs sure make it fun.
