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.

So happy to be bird hunting again!

Great to see you getting the pup out on some birds! Sounds like he's coming along nicely, well done. Hope you guys have a great season!
