Shout out to English Setter hunters

[Bluebulldog]

All I know is that Setters are beautiful dogs. If my wife ever lets us become a two hunting dog family, ( as opposed to a hunting dog, and a couch potato)....then a Setter will be on my list, although not sure if it'd be English, Irish, or Gordon.

Guess we'll have to get together and actually run the dogs if you want to see 'em.

Not that bad of an idea. Should make a Setter appreciation day at Hullet. Preferred time for me would be the week before the first controlled deer hunt.

The tail and ears look right but that's about all. Hopefully the dogs looked better than the picture.

I think it might prove setters evolved from sheep.

This was my favorite from the 2015 season. Damp, cool October morning. Dog worked like a champ. Birds were in. Shooting was on

Awesome yet doesn't look like a setter to me . Maybe a setter would-like-to-be?

Great picture! Could be a setter, but who cares with a fine companion like that.
