I think Dave is totally going to start hunting again. He's lying if he thinks not. You know you can justify it by saying "well I'm doing it for the dog".
Hey dave. Give Doug Teakle a call on the shooting. He lives out your way and has a similair aged pup who he has hunted over. He also has a lab about your age who is a good hunter.
You are in for the pigeons and pheasant shoot.
I'll be bringing my son for both things and you are welcome to bring your grandson.
