Didn't go as planned today...
I thought given the country the cockie showed me yesterday, I'd take two dogs and run them in turns, as to not run the legs off them. So Enzo got the call, as well as Betty. Couldn't leave Baz at home so he came along as cheerleader.
The first section I was expecting birds on, so Enzo got the nod to run first. He decided that setting wasn't in his job description today, and plowed his way through 4 finds, the last one a group of 4 birds nestled up on a bluff under an inkweed bush. Betty, who was at heel, dropped to the finds and looked up at me with the "he's in trouble isn't he boss?" look. I was so wild I actually bit through an Acme 212 whistle! We had a brief, but meaningful discussion on his future job prospects in the industry, and after that he was right, setting like a champ. His breeder told me once that you had to have a sense of humour to own a red!
His next find was nice and clean, a cock bird. After the shot I decided that was enough for him and picked him up, making his run just over half an hour:
Next up was Betty. What to say about Betty? This little dog hunted her heart out for me as usual, in cleaner country she showed me she can really stretch her legs. Coming under my ownership at 15 months means our rapport has been a work in progress, but days like today that show me we are on the right track. Handled silently for me the whole time, I used the whistle to turn her once. Unfortunately all hens (8 of them!) so nothing shot, yet rock steady to all of them. We were half way down the plateau at this stage so I picked her up after an hour and three quarters. Pleased with how she is going.
Ran the hairy red spaniel for the last run, to the end of the plateau then back to the car. Three more finds, all cocks. only one shot due to terrain. Finished his run just under an hour, thus making Enzo man of the match. A lot of squandered opportunities today, but that's hunting!
The prick didn't even look at the camera for the podium photo:
So... anyone know where to buy an acme 212?Last edited by Pointer; 15-06-2014 at 07:17 PM.

Last night on mallards,same result 0 never saw one.
But on a brighter note we have water nowThese last two were taken on the 19th of May.
Parries and pukekos are still on the licence to hunt,average season here but lack of water earlier might have had an effect.
Still great times with dogs,family and friends. Only missed 5 nights this season.
