The other day while my cousin and Eric were broken down near Fort Bridger, Wyoming, we had the chance to talk about outdoor writing.

SEASON’S END
I regret to inform everyone that my pointer, Dusty, ran off two days after Christmas in a blizzard and never returned. Bustin’ Dusty was a knuckle head, but I loved him nonetheless.

Excellent Quail Blog!
January is the month for chasing birds…quail to be exact! Late season roughnecks are hard to come by, but Bob is still a gentleman!

The Next Generation
Well, Daisy’s pups are old enough to start going to their new homes and although sad to see them go, I’m excited for the many new adventures that await them. One of the pups went to Arizona (actually another one is going as well but not til Jan.) and has already accompanied her owner/handler/trainer/friend on…
