Don Brown of the Cedar Grove Plantation in Virginia was kind enough to send along these pictures of a traditional Southern quail hunt with mule drawn wagons. This tradition dates back to the turn of the 20th century and is still alive today on plantations around the South.
He says, "We use vizslas to range out, find and point our coveys of quail and then send in Boykin Spaniels to do the flushing and retrieving."

The most convenient way to carry your blank gun at a field trial. Made to hang on the left side of your saddle.

Jim from Seattle sent us a picture of his setter pup, Duke. Apparently this little guy found something far more interesting than the camera...

 

Mark from Colorado sent us pictures of his Gordon Setters, Kayleigh and Thor.
Thor placed in an Open Derby stake this past weekend. Congratulations!

Biz in Boulder sent us this picture of her English Setter. She writes:
"Scout placed 3rd in a large Open Ltd Stake in CA two weeks ago."

Way to go, Scout!

No, it's not a new television network. It's the Weimaraner Club of Tennessee Valley , and we were fortunate enough to be their guests at their Spring Field Trial. What a great group of people! Friendly competition, inter-club cooperation, and a hard-working group of club members who put on a trial that ran like a well oiled machine, with plenty of great southern cooking thown in!
