Argus in HCC

Had Argus clipped into his HCC two weeks ago.   Tired of combing him out.

He is looking great.

Pick up duty at Markover

Did pickup duty at Markover on Saturday.  All pigeons - which Argus does not like.  He would spit out when he got back to me.  So, did a little forcing on hold- much better. 

Actually, it was good that it was not a mixed bag (pheasants and pigeons) as Argus could not choose.  When we have done mixed bag before, Argus would select pheasants and ignore pigeons.  This time, he couldn't do that.

It was snowing out, nothing accumulated, but it did get Argus wet.  He was shivering by the end of the morning session.  I put on his camo vest for afternoon - much happier.

Water still frozen around here, so no opportunity to do water work.  We'll just have to see how PCA goes.

Training at Baker Ave

Snowed yesterday so went over to Baker Ave to see if we could do some work on the asphalt.

It was too icy, so did some blinds in the snow in the small field.  Argus did really well, but wasn't sure if he was following our footprints.

Here's pic of the yeti.

Addieville in snow

Great day at Addieville.

14 birds - 7 chukars and 7 huns.  We found all but one.

Heavy cover - with birds hiding deep in grasses - not flushing - holding tight.  Argus had a couple of traps.

Did some hunt'em up training.  Overall great day in the field.

Pickup duty at Markover

Here's a couple of photos from pickup duty at Markover.  We did one early this year.  Always a lot of fun.

Markover

A rainy day, but still a lot of fun.  Had about 50 retrieves throughout the day.

He still does not like to pick up pigeons, but did better.

Training this morning

Trained this morning at Nashawtuc Hill.  A cold frosty morning.  Did a lot of blinds, used a small bit of water to do some water work.  It was just running depth.  Here's pic of Argus with coat of frost.
