Merry Christmas my sound hooligans.
I have been out hunting chukar partridge the last few days and I got a lot of exercise, saw some beautiful country, saw few humans except my two hunting buddies and had the company of good dogs.
My old hunting dog, Loretta, age 9, did three days of hunting on steep, rocky mountains, and still, on the third day made the most magnificent point I had ever seen: On the top of the rocky, rounded mountain, overlooking the John Day River and valley, she went rock solid, nose in the air, classic point. Not a muscle moved. My friend's 1 and 1/2 year old German Short Hair crept up behind her, then at 10 yards away, locked up too. They waited until my friend and I were parallel to Loretta, then we all crept forward, until the covey of about 15 birds flushed in front of and below us, about 50 yards out, too far away for a shot. But the setting, approach and dog work were just perfect. It made the whole trip for me. We got a few birds, but nothing was as perfect as that air scent and point by my old dog.
We need to wrap a few presents yet, then go to oldest son's house this evening for the unveiling and dinner. I hope you all have a great day with few pains, good company and great mobility.

Merry Christmas, all! I've been fumbling through this this year, and may give it a shot at an open mic here in Tucson tonight, where nobody knows me. Thanks for that, David. I had forgot about that one. I gotta work it up, . . . , for next year. |

Interesting. I thought the young lady sitting on the floor facing the camera looked familiar. |
