| November 2008 - Training Pays Off Whenever possible, we try to do combo hunts when we go to North Dakota. When Mark Lamers and I were out there in early November 2008, we had hopes to split our time evenly between hunting ducks and pheasants. The weather just turned out to be too darn nice for great duck hunting, but we did get a few opportunities. On one morning hunt, we had some shooting on a good-sized pond and this duck sailed on us before coming down well over a hundred yards out. After finishing a close mark, I lined up Belle for a blind retrieve and she handled it beautifully. It just goes to show that all that versatile hunting dog training is worth the effort. Valuable game gets recovered when a well-trained dog is on the job! |
