First, this book is dedicated to
HELEN and LES, my parents,
who taught me to love and cherish the outdoors.
Next, to
the gun dogs who have made my days afield so rewarding:
BULLET, CHIEF, MAGGIE, SALLY, GROUCHO,
JENNY, OLLIE, and BAILEY.
Finally, to
ALL MY HUNTING BUDDIES,
who have made it so much fun. If I start naming names I might
forget someone, but you know who you are.
