Pheasant hunting, 1979
Pictured is my brother-in-law Kipp Petersen (left) and
myself with my Brittany spaniel, Rusty.
Taken in my backyard in Lexington in 1979 with five
pheasants. I was 26 years old and hunting pheasants
before the pivots came and changed the landscape of
pheasant hunting. I am 69 now and miss those good
old days.
