Raining all day so far.
Real slow. Only a few flying today.
Winged a mallard drake and watched it sail down stream and crashed into a tree. Saw it fall to the ground. Moved a little thru the brush and sent trap.
It landed on the other side of the white fence, somewhere by the big tree.

The goose glided in after a hit, what turned to be 2 fields up.
Went to the fence line and sent trap. Half way across the first field his nose went up and he started searching.
He crossed the next fence and disappeared thru the next brush lined fence and disappeared. A few minutes later, here he comes with the goose.
Finished our season with a drake goldeneye from the other side of the river.
We had a great season and we learned alot about each other.
He can read me and i, him.
I am so glad i bought him, and thankful lee of wind river labs, has great breeding and awesome started training.
I love my dog and best friend.

Now to get ready for the up coming akc hunt tests.
Thanks for tuning in all, hope you enjoyed our waterfowl season.
He ended up retrieving 112 ducks and 39 geese.
