When I was a kid in the 60's there were only a few feeds available. The majority of the people with hunting dogs fed Purina Dog Chow. Our setters hunted hard and lived a long time on the green bag. By todays standard that food is considered at the low end of the scale. About 10 yrs ago I got caught ...

I think that dog is Summer Wine, call name Rocky.

Doug,
You need a viedo editing program. There are lots of them out there for around $100. My new computer has a free one on it, Windows Movie Maker. It is really basic. I have done a lot of video editing using the Sony Vegas program. It is a lot more than you would want or need.

The bird storage area is very large. The holes are plenty big enough for chukar. The only thing you have to kind of get use to is the openings are higher than most vests because of the depth of the pocket.
