I had a Brittany Spaniel years ago that would allow one miss on bobwhites. If I missed again all day - that dog would stop and cut me a look that spoke volumes. Yes, I would feel much chagrin and humiliation...To be given the stink eye by a dog is a source of much humiliation.

I had quite a few Brits until the quail disappeared. Loved them all. Got a Boykin and used her (key word) for everything from ducks to deer. Fabulous dog!I had a Brittany Spaniel years ago that would allow one miss on bobwhites. If I missed again all day - that dog would stop and cut me a look that spoke volumes.

A fellow I hunted with had an interesting bird dog - just happened to also be a Brittany Spaniel. This dog would bite the head off a quail and eat it when it got hungry. I never saw it leave a mark on the body of the quail though - never. It would retrieve that headless bird in perfect style and go on hunting. Dogs are smart.As a By God Mountain man I went on a trek.

Some times real life Mountain men go hungry, and I did for two days.
After noon on the second day I got my a rabbit. Looking forward to a meal and so was ‘Dawg’.
Opened the rabbit and it was all full of worms, I’m not that hungry, Dawg is.
How do I keep Dawg away from it? I walk down to the river, a branch of the Colorado, and toss it in.
Dawg dancing around my feet on the trip down.
The look on his face when I threw a meal away haunts me yet.
I did make it up to him later, but don’t know if he ever forgave me
They sure work their way into your heart. That's for sure.I had quite a few Brits until the quail disappeared. Loved them all. Got a Boykin and used her (key word) for everything from ducks to deer. Fabulous dog!
She never gave me the stink eye for any reason. I sure miss them all.
I'm tearing up right now just thinking about them. I'm sure that Nate tears up about Tia now and then.
She does look at me as if to say " what happened"!Hi Britsmoothy does Jess give you the look my beagle used to give me when I missed the rabbit. He would run it by three times and if you missed that many times he just sat there giving me the I would of done better myself.
I'm sure that Nate tears up about Tia now and
2/12 as against 23/4s in my 12's or 16's Keep the hammer down and self prime (If your on your own with a good Hound like your's) in the field.. O.D.You put 3/4 the volume you would with 3f or larger and enjoy the efficiency my friend. Don't forget to plug the vent on a flintlock though before charging. Or if cap lock keep the hammer on the nipple, no point wasting none.
Looks like a headshot,or is it just me ?After shooting the other day I didn't clean the 45.
I've quit panicking about cleaning muzzloaders, unless they get wet I don't worry.
Today I wanted another rabbit so I popped a cap on a rodded patch and set off.
I want to say it was a long shot but the first rabbit I got a chance at was only 10yds or so. Never look a gift horse in the mouth I took the shot.
