And Ol Pete Is a fine looking Bird Dawg Is he a Lewellan Setter ? You dont see them to often In the Field, And Big Greenie Is "One Bad Hammer" ! I like your open air Shop BIRDOG FORGE, I got you Web-Site bookmarked I'm Interested to see your Site when It's done, I like the Period Style Work "Fur Trade Era ! Thank's for sharing the picture of your Hawk,
 
either ive completely missed you on this forum or you dont post much. i should be looking around more because ive missed your site up till now. fantastic work and i really enjoy seeing photos of other peoples shops too. it always helps to see someone elses workspace.
 
Thanks. appreciate the kind words. I have another on the bench that's from a chainsaw billet. Coming soon-)

Pete is from Ryman/Hemlock stock. Big strong hard charging dogs.

Hey BIRDOG, We got some Wood's In Eastern Nebraska, It's In Central Nebraska and out West where they Burn Buffalo Chip's "Instead of Wood" !
I checked out the History on the Line of Bird Dog's Ol Pete's out of they have an Interesting History http://www.drummersglen.com/historyoftherymansetter.html I'll do some more research on the Line though, We have Woodcock & Grouse here In Nebraska but this Is Pheasant Country ! I'll bet Pete would "Like Them " ? Keep us updated on any New Hawk's !
 
I often forget to take pictures before they leave :-)
My goal in life is to kill a wild turkey with a hawk . I've come close but not close enuff. A setter is a big help as they learn to pin them in the brushpiles.
The Ol Hemlock line was developed by George Bird Evans, a really great writer of birdhunting books. I'm sure he's cringing, lookin' down from heaven, when I work these dogs on them big birds:-)
Pete likes all kinda birds!! hehehe
Thanks Stuart!
 
It has been a few years since I had a bird dog. The setters were my choice and I have yet to see one I didn't like even if they were just pets.
