Kilimanjaro Report post Posted August 9, 2005 We went out a couple days ago with a buddy and our dogs before it got too unbearably hot and put a few birds out for the dogs and my new pup, Virgil. It was his very first intro to live birds. He performed beyond all of my expectations. He is almost 12 weeks old. I thought I would share a few pics with y'all. Hope ya'll enjoy... Here is one of my favorites.. He sure was surprised when I flushed the quail out of the grass in front of him. Look at those ears!! If you look carefully, you can see the quail in mid air in the middle of the pic. And here is a pic of of my pride and joy, Penny, with a nice point... Can't wait till bird season opens!!!! Thanks for lookin... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noel Arnold Report post Posted August 10, 2005 Great pictures. They should get lots of practice this oct. It is going to be one of the best quail years in decades. Noel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted August 11, 2005 Blue grouse on the Kaibab, Sept 10. Virgil's ready! RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kilimanjaro Report post Posted August 11, 2005 Thanks for the positive responses on Virgil. He sure is a hand full still. My Brit, Penny, had finally gotten to the age where she is calm and fully trained. And what do I do, I go out and start the whole process again!! Puppies are a handful for sure, but in the end they are definately worth it. Doug, if you want me up there for opening day, consider it done. I have been looking forward to hunting grouse all summer. But I don't think Virgil is going to be quite old enough for that one. It'll just be me and Penny. But watch out by Nov when you head down here to hunt Mearns with us!! It's gonna be the dream team in the Mearns hills... Penny, Rica, and the rookie, Virgil!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
