So we went out and braved the arctic air (high of -21) on Sat morning with 2 other buds and Pocket. The birds were moving a little late, but nice and low and decoyed well. It's a good thing we had other shooters out bc I couldn't hit water if I fell out of a freakin canoe! Either way though it was a great day with Pocket having to cross the river and chase a runner down. That was so cool! Also we had to send her on 3 blinds and well was I ever proud as she took amazing casts from Dustin and got all three blinds like a pro! One guy with us hunted last yr and he commented on how wicked it is to have her handle and not have to bust out the waders anymore to get those birds....I'm still smiling and feel great that the training is paying off and she's applying it to hunting! Here are some pics.
Packing up the gear and heading home, check out the ice on her and the dekes and grass
Chessie with some extra weight (check out her tail), but it didn't slow her down at all!
