First pheasant hunt of the season. Dog and I got out this morning. I made the mistake of letting him hunt too far ahead of me, and two pheasants flushed out of range.
But... He pointed three birds. I took three shots. Dropped three birds.
Also - he accomplished his first retrieve. We've been working on that this summer. He did great! Lots of praise. I made sure he knew that he did great.
I was using 12 gauge, 2 3/4" Kent Fasteel #6's. They worked great, just as they did last year.
