[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1827350, member: 40587"] Pretty good time this weekend. We are EAT UP in bird!! You barely got mounted and rode 50 yards before the dogs pointed again! We had 4 gaited horses and about 9 people who came down to hunt( (including the dude and his son that came to look at those 4 black Corr cows I bought Thursday. And yes, he bought them! ) so we'd take them out 3 at a time...Scott handling the dogs and me handling the hunters. I had to ride my cow horse, but he is as gun broke as the others are, so no problem, other than my left knee is gone from getting up in the saddle so much.
