I just got back from a morning hunt with my good friend Kenny Crosswhite. Great morning, we saw several whitetail does and fawns, 1 very nice whitetail buck, geese, ducks, sandhill cranes, pheasants and about 10 coveys of quail. Kenny brought 7 dogs, 5 of those were ones that I raised, that being, Pat, Cooper, Skip, Amos and Eli. Pat is by Hoss out of Rosie, Cooper is by Hoss out of a Stitch/Rosie female, Skip is by Hoss out of a daughter of Stitch, Amos and Eli are littermates by Stitch out of a daughter of Hoss, a littermate to Pat. This is the beginning of Pat's 3rd. season, Cooper is what I would call a red-shirt freshman, Skip, Amos and Eli are true freshmen. The dogs did a great job, points made by Pat, Cooper, and Skip.

Last weekend Kenny ran Pat and Cooper in a NSTRA field trial and got 1st. place with Pat on Saturday and 1st.. place with Cooper on Sunday. Kenny already has 4 firsts with Pat so he'll be a NSTRA champion soon. If I remember correctly you need 18 points to be considered a champion. You also need 3 firsts. Pat is WELL on his way.

After I left this morning, I received a call from my wife and she informed me that Rita started having pups. When I got home from my hunt around 1 p.m., she had already had 7 pups. My Sooners are putting a early whoopin on Texas A & M, this has already been a very good day!!!

Below are pics of Pat on covey point and Kenny with Pat in front of the "huntin' buggy".

These were at Sandy Sanders it was a better opener with 5 coveys in about 3 hours time. I think it would have been a real good opener if the heat would have stayed down some but we'll see this weekend.

Hey Duane....that's some neat looking country. I've never hunted the Sandy. Yeah it was hot this last week-end supposed to be better this week-end coming up.

For what ever reason, the picture of Pat on point doesn't show up on firefox but does on I.E., just curious if anyone else was having trouble seeing Pat showing up anyway I'm gonna try it again.
