At work alone today, slowest day of the year. Feeling a bit down with the weather and economy.

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy healthy prosperous 2009!

I wanted to say thanks to everyone who made time to hunt with me and my family this year, I dont so much remember the birds shot, or the memorable dog work, as I recall the memories made with partners afield. It is nice to look back and see smiles from happier times.

Thanks for Looking

Great shots Fritz and have a Merry Christmas!

I left the camera at home every trip this year except except for my November week-off when I dropped it promptly at the beginning of the trip:rant:.

Anyway, I bought a much better replacement and hope to have some decent (for me) hunting and trial shots this year.

Speaking of trials, are you (and Rich) in the saddle at the spring hunting dog stake at Gladwin this year?

At least my shadow made it into one of your pics. :lol:

Good work Fred, looks like a fine season.

 

[Drifter Saver]

Nice pics Fred! It seems like those times were so long ago already.

I didn't do much camera work this year...in fact, I don't know if I did any. However, I leave for Western Kansas again tomorrow with a fellow NSTRA member and MANY-MANY dogs. The weather is supposed to be perfect so we hope to make some good 2008 ending memories (and starting 2009 as we are hunting until the the 2nd of January. Maybe I will even get some pics.

Fritz,

Great pictures. Sounds like a great season, but then again, as long as we are able to get out with friends and behind a great dog, we are blessed.

This is "GREAT"...I'll have to hear all about the up-coming trip from Fritz on the 10th at the dog trail meeting in Mt. Pleasant...and "THEN" I'll hear all about the end result from the two of you at the RGS Workshop on the 28th.

Nice PE though Fritz. Looks like a great season for-sure.

Thank you, for taking the time to share it with us.

It was Mac's birthday that day, so we brought him a bottle of "MAKERS MARK" - he let me shoot all his birds, such a nice guy even on his birthday.
