Cibolo, TEXAS

San Antonio German Shorthaired Pointer Club

We crossed west Texas on back roads where we encountered lots of private hunting ranches and small towns.

Finally at the field trial grounds, a private lease owned by the club, we staked out our camp and met some of the people.

Lunchtime! The chili soup and Tamales were outstanding!

Above: In the call-back, Handler Kelly's dog goes on a staunch point, holds whoa for flush and shot, then retrieves bird to hand.

Above: After the trial we finally found some decent forest and camping in eastern Texas. Note how well Darwin blends in with the forest floor.
