These include hunting, with rifle and bow; bird-dog training, squash, sailing and skiing (see "The Gresham File" for a more complete list).

It's a blessing in the fact that so many bird-dog owners are willing to get out and pursue the unique quail on the millions of acres of public land available to us, and a curse because so many of them do just that.

THERE ARE MANY aspects of bird-dog training that will offer you a second chance should the first round not go as planned, but introducing your pup to gunfire isn't one of them.
