Test Dogs:
AFC Step On It Margaret – “Gretta,” LF
Owned and Handled:
Mark Jenson
First up was Mark and Gretta, they came to the line at 6:48 am
LF – Quick recovery of this hen pheasant!
RF – Gretta follows a corn row stubble down the field and then cuts across the stubble when she is just past the gunners. She turns right and has the bird.
RR – She heads out down the alley way, pulled up the hill by the big tree beyond the power lines, then bent back towards the bird and got it.
LR – Cutting through the cover and strips, she deflects left. A couple quick loops deep and left and then she swings over to hunt up her bird.
FC Armo’s Cold Water Running Strong, “Steel,” LM
Owner: Joe James and Sarah Shelton-James
Handler: Joe James
Next up ... Joe and Steel came to the line at 7:00 am
LF – Very smart hunt on this one – staying in the area for a nice hunt.
RR – Down the right cover and then across to the left, he drives the hill crossing the mowed lanes to his rooster.
RF – Down the corn rows behind the gunners, he gets past the gunners, cuts right and moves to grab his bird.
LR – Down along the cover, he pulls left – up the hill coming in on the correct side doing an excellent job of digging out his bird.
The first running dog will begin after 7:20 am to allow the lighting in the field to come up a little bit more.
