Hunting season !!

[Roadkill]

Damn,that was hard. Here I go again. Years back folks had a quail farm, city hunters would come out and enjoy the sport. One season a group called to make reservations, all was in order but when they showed up to start the hunt the guide didn't have any dogs. Questioning him, he said that Grandpa would do the pointing & retrieving. He had been feeling pretty worthless and wanted to contribute so he thought he'd be able to do as well as any dog. The hunters were apprehensive, but soon found out that Grandpa was real good. He could spot the birds very well, flushed them and then never lost one. At the end of the hunt everyone was happy. Few weeks later the same group called gain, wanted to hunt and specifically asked for Grandpa again. The reply was "he's no longer with us".
Silence. "Condolences are in order, but he seemed so healthy". Reply: " He did real well for a while but started running rabbits and we had to shoot him".
