The Phantom Setter

I just finished reading The Phantom Setter for about the eleventeenth time.  Its a short story by Robert Murphy.   I found it in a collection of hunting dog stories called For the Love of a Dog by Wilderness Adventure Press. 

I've not come across a better story that shows why people like me that like wood and blued steel (or color case hardened!) hunt.  The dog also reminds me of a woman I knew once.  No, I don't mean in the looks department either.

Google it, buy whatever book you can find that  includes it and read it.  You'll understand.
