A good bird dog is worth watching. Especially one who missed it so much while she was on maternity leave.
Yesterday, Avis and I had the opportunity to guide a pheasant hunt for a group from the Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers.
Heavy cover, fall colors, and a setter doing what she was bred to do.
One of my favorite parts of the upland community is sharing the experience with people who appreciate the dogs, the habitat, and the work that goes into a day afield.
And judging by the burrs we brought home, Avis had a heck of a time.
