It's strange to hear that, because duck hunters use them all the time with great success. While I don't understand the difference; is it because they won't spook the quail up into flight?
Runt was probably around 4 years old in that pic. He's not with me any longer, and neither is the pickup.
The little monster in my avatar (Hercules) is my newest, and his new chariot will be arriving for him next Thursday (I hope). He's a lot bigger than he was in that photo; at this point he's already crested 85lbs or so, on his way to +100.
I love Labs.
And dogs love trucks!
