Out on the Prairie today

Today, since they are harvesting crops in some of the more local fields we run on, we loaded up and went to some wonderful prairie country that is loaded with sharptails on most years. We moved 10 bunches of sharptails.

Chance - Backed another dog and ran well, he had one find on a pair of sharptails. He did not see them flush but I fired and he was steady until I collared him and lead him off.

Mac - Nice race, backed well.

Trevor - Ran well but failed to back, and still doing puppy stuff.

Rocky - Ran great, backed a point, but no other bird work.

Yesterday evening we ran a bunch of young dogs

Rita - Was into a bunch of pheasants - flash pointed a few times before flushing the birds.

Jake - Was in contact with a bunch of pheasants (perhaps 30) pointed for a long time and broke and flushed the bird - chase was on. Because, birds just kept flushing

Tripp - Not much to report - was in the near vicinity and even ran over several birds - no chase acted very indifferent.

Maggie - Had two nice finds - broke at either the flush or shot. Ran a nice race. Still showing youth and immaturity.

Yesterday morning, we ran our field trial dogs.

Cullen - 3 broke finds and a very nice shooting dog race

Tech - Ran a nice race - had one find - and two backs. Coming along slowly.

Tucker - Ran a nice race, honored, but no finds of his own.

Chewy - Huge all age race. No finds, but went to birdy places - he just missed them.

Keith - Posting from Under the Rusty Windmill
