shotgun on fast flying quail.
ALso along was retired wildlife

It was a picture taking
session for Terrell and also a
time to shoot a couple of quail;
a coaching session for his son,
Bobby Reminders were made
to keep the barrel aimed
upwards "Cradle it in your
anus," said Ramsey
repeatedly.
The result was young Bobby
killed more quail than all
others (maybe other gunners
possibly sacrificed). It was a
first time for an actual hunt on
the part of Hunter's young
Germ Shorthair "Sweetie."
She performed good at times

she showed potential
Bird dogs with possibilities
must be hunted to have good
results As with all hunting
dogs, game must be on hand to
prove the dog's ability This is
one reason Brigman's has
operated over the years It s
a sure thing My dog ran like a
herd of wild ponies for awhile
but settled down and did what
lie was supposed to do.
It was somewhat warm for
hunting but results were good
Brigman has always been a
perfect host. Shooting is only
one of the reasons why hunters
make visits. Even a
Philadelphia lawyer could
leam from Wayne Brigman
He is short on words but
when he talks it deserves
attention and at Brigman's,
when you put one and one
together, it does not
necessarily result in two We
are referring to a situation

face each oither It's a matter
of each attempting to outdo

enemies, but they are as close

have forced me to close,"
