I really don’t know how old she was. I know there will be some who will berate me for that, but I just didn’t keep track of it. I guess I was busy with hunting and life at the time, and somehow the date and time I got her just slipped away.

At least 15 years ago (probably more), I was looking for another bird-dog derivative canine for the purpose of fall turkey hunting. A lot of people don’t know about this, even a lot of hunters, but there is an old traditional method of hunting wild turkeys in the fall. This is completely different from spring hunting, you understand.
