Working with the pups (Three of them! What was I thinking?) always gets me in the daydream mode. First hunt this year will be for Sharpies and Chukar out west in Montana and Idaho. This will be no place for a newbie, but the boys are going along for the experience anyway. I tell my hunting partners that if a busted up bird by one of my pups is going to upset them, they'll need to hunt somewhere else. Contrary to popular belief, this trip, and all trips, are about the man-dog interface, with the emphasis on the dog. I love to see the pups work! So eager and fast.....
