    I had a Springer Spanial that would grab any flying insect out of the air, bees, hornrts, didn't matter to Bandit. He left Dragonflies alone and liked to watch them. Everything else was fair game.
    He could leap about 6 feet high and grab 2 bugs on the same leap if the targets were there. Snap-Snap, land on his feet and look for more.
    Best fuckin huntin dog I was ever around or owned. The 2 of us never lost a single pheasant I shot that hit the ground running.
    One time I followed him for about a mile, across a section, and there he was, talking to me when I got close, and there was the pheasant I shot that hit and ran right in front of Bandit, waiting for me to get there and pick up the bird as Bandit had killed it and was just waiting on me to get there. He never mauled or chewed on any bird he brought back to me and if a bird hit the ground but still had some fight in him, Bandit did a head snatch and twirl then brought it right straight to me.

    He was great with kids, adults, and other dogs, much better than me. If he didn't like someone, that person was up to no good or just no good., he proved that several times.
    His ashes are in an urn on my reloading bench.

    If people were as smart as Bandit was, there would be a lot less friction going on now.
