An update: Merlot is coming on faster than I would have ever thunk. Out the other day and the two of us killed three Ringnecks. Bud has a good Pointer that gets out further than my flushers, but Toby pushed one out and Merlot four.
Today went by myself, hot at 70-71F. Put up 7 birds in 5 hours and Merlot had five of them. I'm beginning to think his nose is better than Toby's even at his early age. These Birds have been out a week and are catching on. Had one good shot and missed.
The heat was hard on 10 year old Toby, but the little guy never quit. Rest day for them tomorrow.
Good day.
