It Takes a Good Bird Dog

It Takes a Good Bird Dog

Steve Nix/ About Forestry
At least as enjoyable as hunting quail is working with a good bird dog. Actually, you will not be able to find many birds without one.

"I think we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren't certain we knew better. They fight for honor at the first challenge, make love with no moral restraint, and they do not for all their marvelous instincts appear to know about death. Being such wonderfully uncomplicated beings, they need us to do their worrying." ~George Bird Evans, Troubles with Bird Dogs
