AA.......It never stops......:biggrin:
This was my dogs 2nd season. She picked up 107 last year and a shade over 200 this year.
Her first year I tried to take her on good hunts only, which means for us where I hunt is early season. this year however I took her everytime I went unless I was on an invite hunt and was asked to bring her. I never show up on an invite with my dog unless asked.......just the way I do things cause I don't want somebody showing up on a hunt I invite them to with a dog either.
This year started off strong and stayed steady for the whole year and she did a good job and made some jawdropping retrieves in some nasty conditions.:thumb:
One habit I want to break her of and I'm not sure how I'm going to do it yet is bringing back 2 ducks at once. Some of my buddies say I should just leave her alone and let her hunt but she wastes just as much time and energy doing that as she would if she will pick up one......bring it back to the tree stand and cast on the next mark.
It aint got to be a big event, just a little marking drills, doubles, maybe triples, some water work if possible.:biggrin:
