Just an update. We have been hunting with a few other guys the last few days, and so far trap has retrieved 22 ducks and 3 geese. One of the other guys had a female yellow with, and yesterday she was favoring her left rear paw. We looked at it but found no goatheads or blood, but today he shows up without her because she was limping and her paw was swollen. She went to the vet today. The only thing we could think of was maybe she stepped on a russian olive thorn.
Got me thinking..... The hunt test is this weekend, and I don't want trap to wind up with an injury, so we are done hunting til next week. A decision, I feel wisely made..
