The dog work for this year's hunt was surprisingly good. Several birds were harvested by the dogs that would have been lost otherwise. Our very first bird was only wounded, but was quickly dispatched by Bubba and returned to us for the pouch. A downed quail would have been impossible to find, if not for Scooby. Manny hit the field for the very first time this year and helped us put two more birds in the bag in one day. It is a great feeling when you can see the dog "get it" for the hunters. Sasha hunted beautifully and had no trouble pinpointing a couple of pheasants even though her training basically started a week before the hunt. Four dogs on one hunt is usually a challenge. Fortunately for us, it was never a problem. They hunted all day, every day and stepped up to the task every time. I can't wait til we do it again. I have added a couple photos worth sharing.
