That’s a wrap. The 2025–2026 hunting season is pretty much over for me and the boyz — Noonan, Jaeger, and Ogie. What a season! Easily the best one I’ve had in a long time.
I was in the field just about every weekend since October 1 (missed only two), and it paid off. Great bird numbers, lots of mature birds, and some absolute giants. Even better was getting to hunt with a bunch of great people along the way.
Big shout-out to Mike and Scott Etzkorn for helping lock down a spot for my camper and side-by-side. Much appreciated. Already counting the days until next season.
Here is a compilation of some of the memories from the season.

Noonan passed the NAVHDA Invitational this week, becoming a Versatile Champion, adding another tittle to his accomplishments. Not only did he earn the title, but in doing so, helped Jeff George, Ripsnorter Kennels became the first kennel to earn an Invitational breeder’s award. Noonan is one of those all around great dogs, a beast in the field and water hunting, a dominant test dog and best of all a lover. Great with people, kids and other dogs. Below are Noonan’s current accomplishments and accolades.
