Sixth Series - Land Blind

Sixth Series is a Land Blind located in the same field as 5th series. Weather is overcast, 65 degrees, winds gusting from east
10-15 miles an hour, at times little wind could be detected.

The series started with a 10 yard blind entry, running southeast. After the dog left the top of the hill the handlers move forward. The direct line is to the right of a small spruce tree, continuing to the left side of a large large clump of high brush. The line them continues through heavy swamp grass cover with a angle crossing of the running creek. The bird was located at the base of a large mound at 310 yards. The average time for running this test was 4 1/2 minutes.

One problem on the blind was that dogs would come out of the swamp grass on the right side behind the brush. Some dogs followed the running creek, with the handler losing sight of the dog for a short period of time.

40 Dogs to Seventh Series. 12 Dogs Dropped.

Seventh Series - in progress

Forty dogs to run the Seventh Series - Water Triple

Seventh Series is a water triple back at the clubhouse which crosses the river next to Four Mile Lake. Weather is overcast with brief periods of sunshine. The wind is coming out of the south at 15-20 miles per hour, temp is 68 degrees.

First bird is duck thrown by the middle gun (retired) to the left landing on a point 10 feet from the waters edge. The line to this bird is a 120 yard angle entry into the river which runs north and south. The swim to the bird is 80 yards.

Second bird is a live flyer duck thrown to the left by the right side gun. The line to this bird is a square water entry at 50 yards, a 70 yard swim across the river ending with an additional 100 yards by land over a tote road to the bird.

The last bird down is a a short 30 yard duck diversion bird thrown by the left hand gun to the left.

A number of dogs competing early are all having short to long hunts on the middle retired bird, some dogs are being pulled into the shore on the right side and landing early which is down wind from the bird. Others are having problems with two heavy clusters of lilly pads which are pulling the dogs.

The Seventh Series will continue Friday morning with eleven dogs remaining to run.
