Shooting at Addieville
Went shooting at Addieville yesterday.
Great day - sunny, in the 40's.
We had 15 birds. They put out 9 in first stocking in fields 4 and 5. We pointed 7 of the 9, couldn't find the other two.
Argus did great - three of the birds flushed after he pointed, before I could get in position.
Here are some pictures of him resting between stockings.
We then went out after the second stocking. They put six in just one field - I think 4 - on the left.
We found them all - got a double on Huns. With just one bird left, a chukar, we were hunting and Argus was circling over some territory we had covered multiple times. He kept doing smaller and smaller circles until he eventually focused on one patch of grass. I couldn't see anything in there. Well, I just said - hunt 'em up - and he flushed a hen peasant - must have been left over from the first stocking. Great job Argus.
Walking out, I didn't think we'd find the last chukar. So I let Argus just free range. Well, he ran back into some corn that we had hunted through multiple times. Well, this time, he pointed, and I could get in position - the last chukar. so we got 7 birds out of a 6 bird drop. Here are some final pictures.

Goose training
Just got the goose training dummy from GunDogSupply and trained with it this morning. Argus had trouble at first finding where to hold it, but eventually got it. We'll add this to our training regime.
