“There should be a law against leaving a shotgun in its case all summer. The thing loses all sense of direction and has no more pointing instinct than a St. Bernard pup.” HuntingShotgun Book:DRUMMER IN THE WOODS.

“Setters were my first love and pointers are my present amours, but my observation leads me to believe there is no marked difference between the good ones of either breed. Under present hunting conditions I would train my young dog to follow a trail until the bird was found and flushed. Just so long as he was following scent I would stay with him and give him my moral support, and we would find that bird if it took the rest of the day to do it. I would teach him by example that finding birds was his job and that I would stay with him from soup to nuts.” Hunting DogsSetter Book:DRUMMER IN THE WOODS.
